CAPTAIN BALFOUR (Middlesex. Hornsey)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider the advisability of granting the rent aid allowance of 1s. 6d. per week to all the Metropolitan Police, seeing that the cost of living and house 992 rent is frequently as great beyond the boundaries of municipal or other boroughs in the Metropolitan Police area as it is within those boundaries.
§ * MR. RITCHIENo, Sir; I am not prepared to re-open this question.
