HC Deb 14 March 1904 vol 131 c985
Ms. SLOAN

I beg to ask the Chief J Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of I Ireland whether he is aware that! Head Constable Gerity, of Dungannon, county Tyrone, recently made a report against a sergeant under his command for breach of discipline, the result of which report was the transfer of the sergeant by order of the Inspector-General; and can he explain why the sergeant's transfer has been cancelled, and by whose instructions.

MR. WYNDHAM

The sergeant appealed to the Inspector-General against his proposed transfer on the ground that he intended shortly to retire on pension. The Inspector-General thereupon cancelled the transfer.

MR. SLOAN

Did the Inspector-General sanction the transfer in the first instance?

MR. WYNDHAM

Presumably he approved it.
