§ 67. Mr. BENNETT-GOLDNEYasked whether all counties and county boroughs in England and Wales have now followed the example of the Home Office and taken advantage of their powers to give all constables and police officers one day's rest in seven; and, if not, which counties and county boroughs are procrastinating in carrying out this desirable form?
§ Mr. McKENNAIn order to provide for the difficulties of recruiting, Parliament allowed county boroughs till July, 1914, to bring the Act into force. I have not at present information as to how far the weekly rest-day has been granted, but it is being collected, and, when it is complete, I shall be glad to communicate the results to the House.
