Mr. Biggs-Davison
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what oath is taken by citizens of the Republic of Ireland when they are sworn in as constables in United Kingdom police forces.
Mr. Brittan
There is no requirement to take an oath, but on attestation as a constable in a police force in England and Wales citizens of the Republic of Ireland, like all other recruits, must make a declaration in the form set out in schedule 2 to the Police Act 1964.
