HC Deb 03 June 1881 vol 262 c14
MR. A. ELLIOT

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Bill, which the House has been informed is in preparation by the Government dealing with Police Superannuation, will be introduced during the present Session?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

Sir, the Government are ready to introduce a Bill upon this subject if there is an opportunity of doing so. In the actual state of the Notice Paper it will be impossible to introduce the measure at the present moment; but the Government are anxious to deal with this matter very much on the principle pointed out by the Commission on Metropolitan Police.
