HC Deb 16 July 1906 vol 160 c1334
MR. ROWLANDS (Kent, Dartford)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether a member of the Metropolitan constabulary, charged with being under the influence of drink while on duty, has the same privilege as a civilian in respect of claiming the opinion of a medical man as to his state and condition; and, if the privilege does not exist, will he consider the desirability of granting it?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. GLADSTONE,) Leeds, W.

No alteration of existing practice in the direction indicated could be introduced without detriment to discipline.
