Mr. Ede
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if agreement has yet been reached on the pay of chief constables, assistant chief constables and the various grades of police superintendents; from what date pay under such agreement will be paid; and what are the new scales of pay.
Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe
Chief constables, assistant chief constables and all grades of superintendent have received an increase in pay of £150 per annum. I have advised police authorities that the increases should be made effective from 3rd August, 1951, the date from which the federated ranks of the police received the pay increases recommended by Sir Malcolm Trustram Eve. The new scales of pay for the county and borough forces are as follows:
