§ Mr. CHURCHILLMy predecessor at the Home Office explained fully to the House on 14th June last the arrangements which were being made to give the Metropolitan police one day's rest in seven, and I would refer the hon. Member to that statement. I would also refer him to the answer which I gave the hon. Member for the Holborn Division of Finsbury on Wednesday last. The Commissioner of Police is arranging to give the first instalment to the force next month.
