§ 59. Mr. Kelly
asked the Home Secretary the number of days' holiday with pay given each year to the members of the Metropolitan Police Force?

§ Sir S. Hoare
Members of the Metropolitan Police Force are granted leave with pay according to their rank on the scale laid down for all forces in the police regulations. I will circulate a table in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

§ Mr. Kelly
What number of days per year holiday is given to the constables?

§ Sir S. Hoare
If the hon. Member will read the table which I propose to circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT, he will see those details set out.

Are the constables given a fortnight's holiday in the year, and further, are they given additional holidays, as was suggested in the House last Tuesday, if they are in camps in the Territorial Forces?
