HC Deb 18 February 1981 vol 999 c129W
Miss Fookes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to ensure either that police officers are covered by personal accident insurance in line with other public sector workers or that the provisions under the police pensions regulations are improved.

Mr. Whitelaw

In my view it would not be appropriate to replace or supplement the provisions of the police pensions scheme by taking out insurance policies. Any proposals for improving the provisions of the police pensions regulations would be a matter initially for the Police Negotiating Board.
