Mr. E. P. Smith:

Does not the right hon. Gentleman realise that, in these times, when there are so many undetected serious crimes, the time of the police could be more valuably spent in other directions; and, furthermore, is he aware that I have in my hand here a rather touching photograph published this year by the "Leicester Mercury" showing police cadets lining up to buy tickets for a prize draw at the Leicester Police and Special Constables' dance?
