§ Mr. A. SHORTasked the Home Secretary the reason why the increase of pay from 1st of April last has been withheld from ex-Police Constables Whitehead and Allsworth, of the Metropolitan Police, seeing that all other members of the service who came out on strike have received theirs?
§ Mr. SHORTTI am informed by the Commissioner of Police that the money referred to has been withheld because the ex-constables continue to occupy police quarters to which they have no right, in respect of which they are paying no rent, and from which they are, by their presence, excluding legitimate occupiers.
