§ MR. CAUSTON (Southwark, W.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it could be arranged, in future, to pay the pensions of Police Officers weekly instead of quarterly (as at present), and that the amounts should be remitted to the Post Offices nearest to the residences of the pensioners?
§ THE SECRETARY of STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)Pensions are now paid quarterly in advance; and it would not be practicable to pay them weekly owing to the clerical labour involved. Any pensioner who desires his pension to be remitted to him by means of a post-office order has, under the existing Regulations, merely to apply to the Receiver of Police, and his request will be complied with.
