HC Deb 21 February 1924 vol 169 cc1962-3
36. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware of the great discrepancy between the amounts of pensions received by pre-War police pensioners and those who have retired since or during the War; and what steps he intends to take in the matter?

Mr. DAVIES

I regret that I can add nothing to the reply given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Tuesday to questions on this subject put by the hon. Member for the Eastern Division of Birkenhead (Mr. Graham White) and the hon. Baronet the Member for Chester (Sir C. Cayzer).

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

But is the hon. Gentleman pressing the Treasury to consider this matter favourably?

Mr. DAVIES

If the hon. and gallant Member will refer to the reply given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I think he will find that that point has been answered there.
