HC Deb 15 November 1920 vol 134 c1550W
Mr. MYERS

asked the Home Secetary whether police officers who forfeited leave during the War have received, or will receive, monetary compensation for this loss; and, if so, will this compensation be extended to those of the police strikers who forfeited their leave under the same conditions?

Mr. PARKER

I am asked to reply on behalf of the Home Secretary. Constables who lost weekly rest days during part of the War have no right to compensation: but many police authorities have in their discretion given either money compensation or extra leave. No such compensation can be given to men who have been dismissed for refusing duty.
