§ SIR CHARLES RUSSELLasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is his intention to introduce a Bill, during the present Session, to give effect to the recommendations of the Select Committee on Police Superannuation, of April 1877?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, he should like to take that opportunity of paying his tribute to the Committee for their labours in this matter, and for the admirable Report which they had drawn up. He thought that they had come to a right conclusion that the amalgamation of the Forces for the purpose of a superannuation fund would not meet the justice of the case; and therefore he was inclined to view the latter part of the Report with favour. He could not promise, however, to introduce, at an early period of the Session, a measure on the subject.
