HC Deb 29 July 1913 vol 56 c283
35. Mr. REMNANT

asked if the members of the Metropolitan police force are allowed the same railway privileges as are given to men serving in the Navy and Army?

Mr. McKENNA

The Cheap Trains Act, 1883, applies to police in the same way as to soldiers and sailors. Metropolitan police officers travelling on official business are conveyed at three-fourths of the ordinary fare. When not on duty they receive no special privilege.

Mr. REMNANT

If these men are recalled for emergency duty while away on holidays, will any expense fall upon them for their journey in getting backwards and forwards?

Mr. McKENNA

I will inquire into that point.
