HC Deb 15 April 1890 vol 343 c554
MR. HOWARD VINCENT

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, having regard to the increasing discontent among all ranks of the Constabulary at the continued non-fulfilment by successive Governments of the promise to deal with the question of their superannuation, he can now state if it is the intention of the Government to deal with the matter, or to leave it to each jurisdiction to promote a private Bill for its own Force; and, in such latter case, what will be the position of the Metropolitan Police?

MR. MATTHEWS

It is the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill this Session dealing with the question of superannuation both in the Metropolitan and the Provincial Forces.
