§ CAPTAIN NORTONI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it has been brought to his notice that, in consequence of the removal of the Police Station in Highgate out of the county of London into the county of Middlesex, a distance of only about 400 yards, the police constables in that district will lose their lodging allowance of 1s. 6d. per week; and whether he will reconsider the advisability of extending the lodging allowance to all the members of the force, whether doing duty in or outside the London boroughs.
§ MR. JESSE COLLINGSMy right hon. friend has decided that the lodging allowance shall be continued in the case of the men who are at present attached to the Highgate Police Station so long as they continue to be so attached, notwithstanding the removal of that station beyond the boundary of the county of London. The answer to the latter part of the Question is in the negative.
