HC Deb 18 April 1887 vol 313 c1115
MR. O'HANLON (Cavan, E.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether Irish police are entitled to one month's leave in each year; and, whether he will recommend that the same privilege be accorded to the English constables?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

I am not aware of the amount of leave the Irish police receive; and I have already announced I do not intend to make any recommendation to have the leave of absence of English constables extended.

MR. O'HANLON

Did the right hon. and learned Gentleman take the trouble to inquire what is the law regulating Irish constables and English constables in the matter?

[No reply.]
