HC Deb 10 September 1914 vol 66 c627
19. Mr. BRIDGEMAN

asked if the Police Reservists (Allowances) Act, 1914, provides for constables whose time as Reservists has recently expired, but who have felt it their duty to resign their position as policemen in order to rejoin the Army; and, if not, what provision is to be made for them?

Mr. McKENNA

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. With regard to the second part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the Police Constables (Naval and Military Service) Bill, which was introduced yesterday.

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Does this Bill cover the point asked in ray question?

Mr. McKENNA

Yes, I think it does. It does not wholly cover it, but the hon. Gentleman will see what its effect is.
