§ 70. Mr. GILBERTasked the Home Secretary whether the police officers and constables who have been retained in the Metropolitan Police Force after their twenty-five or twenty-six years' completed service will be granted any extra pension for the additional years they may serve in the force or, failing that, will they be given any bonus when they are released from service; and, if not, will some special treatment be given to these time-expired men, considering that pensioned men now being employed in similar duties are receiving both their pensions and full pay?
Mr. SAMUELI fear I cannot add anything to the reply I gave to the hon. Member on 31st May last. The majority of the men who have been retained had only 25 years' service, and by their retention in the force they are enabled to earn the maximum pension.
