I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any opportunity will be afforded on the Home Office Vote for the consideration of the pay, hours of work, and holidays of the Metropolitan Police.

The proper place for discussing this subject would be on the Police Vote. I am not in a position to say what time will be allotted for the discussion of the several Votes for which I am responsible, but that will no doubt be arranged in the usual manner.
