§ 48. Mr. KELLYasked the Home Secretary what are the regulations which govern the grant of pensions to members of the Metropolitan Police Force, full period and short period pensions?
§ Mr. SHORTThe pension conditions of members of the Metropolitan Police Force are governed by the Police Pensions Act, 1921, a copy of which I am sending to my hon. Friend. It is impossible to give the scales of pensions without exceeding the permissible limits of an oral reply, but they will be found 2374 in Part I of the First Schedule to the Act, which must be read with Section 2. If I can assist my hon. Friend with any further information perhaps he would write to me.
§ Mr. KELLYWhile thanking the hon. Member for his reply, may I ask whether a short-period pension could be granted for any reasons other than medical reasons?
