Ree. May 24, 7"p.na. . London, May 24. .In the. Hopse of Conimpns? Sir J. Gilmour," in moving the second reading of the Metropolitan Poliee Bill, embody^ng reeent recomnaendations of a eomnaission, said that the most important changes would be the establishnient of a police college as a training ground for the higher ranks, and recruits of purtion -of th'e rank and file for short serviee. Mr. G. Lansbury, Leader of the Opposition, moved the rejection of the bill on the ground that the proposals impaired the demoeratic constitution of thd foree and introduced substantial measures of xnilitarisation. It was bare-faeed class legislation, aiming at finding jobs as officers for unemployed public school and university men. Captain D. H. Hacking, in closing the debate, denied the suggestion that the police force was to be turned into an arnjed fighting force. There were no such intentions. The bill was read the second time by 321 votes to 60.
