HC Deb 29 May 1919 vol 116 c1458W
Lieut. Colonel A. HERBERT

asked the Home Secretary whether policemen who retired on pensions before 1914 receive pensions on the same scale as policemen who retire now?

Mr. SHORTT

In a few forces the pension scales have been varied since 1914 within the limits prescribed by the Police Act, but generally speaking the scales on which policemen's pensions are reckoned remain the same as in that year, though the large increases in pay have, of course, involved an increase in the amount of the pension.
