BYNG’S APPOINTMENT MORE QUESTIONS ASKED (United P.A.—By Telegraphr—Copyright) (Australian P.A.—United Service) Reed. noon. LONDON, Thurs. In the House of Commons, the Home Secretary, Sir William .Toynson-Hieks, replying to Mr. J. H. Hayes (Labour), in reference to Viscount. Byng’s appointment as London police chief, said the Police Act specifically prevented a commissioner from being selected from members of the House of Coirimons. It had been arranged between the Government Whips and the Labour Party that the Home Office vote should be brought on in the House of Commons, to afford the members of the Opposition an opportunity of initiating a debate on the appoinment of Viscount Byng to the Commissionership. It is reported that the Home Secretary, Sir William Joynson-Hicks, may feel it desirable to explain more fully Lord Byng’s task. His phrase, “the stern call of duty” lias not been used lightly. Administrative reforms of great importance are in prospect and some of the changes involved will require courageous handling.
