HC Deb 10 November 1884 vol 293 c1360
COLONEL COLTHURST

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Why the recommendation of the Constabulary Commission of 1882, with regard to extra payments of constables employed as Inspectors of Weights and Measures, has not been carried into effect?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The Irish Government have had no suitable opportunity of dealing with this recommendation, which could not be carried out without legislation for the amendment of the Weights and Measures Act, involving an increased charge upon the cess.
