§ Mr. Gwilym Robertsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what study he had made of the Lord Edmund-Davies Report on police pay and conditions; and if, in the light of this report, he will now amend the police regulations to enable shorter men to enter the police forces thus increasing the strength of these forces.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesI have carefully studied the report on police pay. The Committee did not find any evidence that the standards for entry to the police are set too high. I do not think there are sufficient grounds at present for altering the current height requirements for police recruits.
