HC Deb 13 November 1919 vol 121 c495
40. Mr. BRIANT

asked the Home Secretary if any deduction is made from the pension of a superannuated member of the police force if he obtains subsequent employment; and, if so, if he will explain for what reasons members of the force are treated differently to other public servants?

Mr. SHORTT

If a police pensioner rejoins the police, and receives full police pay, his pension may be suspended, but if he takes any other employment, no deduction can be made from his pension. The enactment under which such deductions were formerly made was repealed a year ago.
