HC Deb 06 November 1918 vol 110 c2144W
Mr. ALDEN

asked the Home Secretary whether it is possible, either out of the existing superannuation funds or out of some other fund, to grant a small war bonus to those police pensioners who are over seventy years of age and whose pension is 15s. a week or under?

Sir G. CAVE

I regret that I cannot add anything to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member on the 21st October. The amount of the pensions is fixed by Statute and could not be increased without legislation.
