welfare is worthy of consideration."

It is a fact that within recent weeks steps have been taken by the
Government to establish and operate an improved system of training for
recruits for the Police Force. We had no information before us as to
the nature of the course or the length of the training period: nor do
we know whether a specific course of training will be prescribed for
women recruits. We feel, however, that it is a fair assumption that a
sounder, more thorough, and more systematic system is about to be put

progress as speedily as would be the case with other regulations
of a more normal character.

"For the information of your Committee the general position now is
that the regulations are in a final stage of preparation and will
be submitted for Gover
