§ Mr. REMNANTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what recent occasions of State additional pay for the extra work thrown on the members of the Metropolitan Police Force has been paid them, and if he can see his way to make such payment on the occasion of His Majesty's Coronation?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLDuring the last five years extra pay has been given to the Metropolitan Police on three occasions—the visit of the King of Denmark, the visit of the President of the French Republic, and the funeral of King Edward. The last part of the question is superfluous—every member of the Metropolitan Police knows that on such an occasion as the Coronation the extra work demanded of them will be liberally recognised by the allowance of extra pay and by what they value even more—the grant of a special decoration.
