§ 13. Sir WILLIAM JENKINSasked the Home Secretary what percentage of police pensions is paid by the State to local police authorities; what percentage is paid by the local authority out of rates; and what is the percentage of the contribution made by the police force in England and Wales towards the pensions?
§ Sir J. GILMOURUnder the Police Pensions Acts every member of a police force has 5 per cent. of his pay deducted in respect of pension. The balance of the cost of pensions falls in equal proportions on the Exchequer and the local rates.
