HC Deb 13 June 1921 vol 143 c74W
Captain BOWYER

asked the Home Secretary under what circumstances 14s. is being stopped from the pension which is now being paid to Mr. Thomas Biggs, late of the police force, who now lives at 3, Old Road, Linslade, Bucks; and whether, in view of all the circumstances, this case can be reconsidered?

Mr. SHORTT

14s. a week is deducted from the pension, and paid to the pensioner's wife, from whom he is living apart, under Section 7 (3) of the Police Act, 1890. I have no reason to think that too high a proportion is paid to Mrs. Biggs.
