POLICE AND PRISON STRIKERS.

HC Deb 06 August 1925 vol 187 c1524

10. Mr. HAYES

asked the Home Secretary whether he can now state the decision of the Government in regard to legislation on the question of payments to the police and prison strikers?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I regret I am not yet in a position to do so.

Mr. HAYES

Will the right hon. Gentleman be able to make an announcement before the Autumn Session?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

It is only fair to say that there is not the slightest chance of making any such announcement before the Autumn Session.

Mr. MARCH

Can they have a collection so that the money can be given to these people?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The hon. Member can collect what money he likes.
