§ Sir A. WILSONasked the Home Secretary the total amounts of Excise penalties recovered from the public and credited, respectively, to county and borough councils and to police superannuation funds; and whether he will, in view of recent 1155W changes in the financial relations between local authorities and the Treasury, review the practice of linking police duties with police pensions?
§ Sir J. GILMOURPolice superannuation funds ceased to exist as separate funds in 1921, and I know of no existing financial arrangement which could be described as a link betwen police duties and police pensions. I am unable to say what sums may be credited to county and borough councils by way of Excise penalties.
