HC Deb 02 March 1921 vol 138 c1814W
Mr. ARCHDALE

asked the Chief Secretary if it would be possible to pay Royal Irish Constabulary pensioners monthly, as a good deal of dissatisfaction exists about the present system of payment?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

Royal Irish Constabulary pensioners who wish to receive their pension in monthly instalments can at present do so, and the great majority of them take advantage of this arrangement. I am not aware of any dissatisfaction in the matter.

Mr. ARCHDALE

asked the Chief Secretary if he will consider the advisability of employing the Royal Irish Constabulary pensioners in Ireland in connection with the Census returns, taking into consideration the fact that large numbers of them are out of employment at present and also that they are used to the work?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The answer is in the affirmative.
