§ Sir J. REMNANTasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that ex-Police-constable Lowes was demobilised from the Army in January, 1919, on a pension of 17s. a week and that this was reduced to 8s. 8d. in April, 1920; and whether, in view of the fact that 20 men in receipt of Army and Navy pensions have been reinstated in the Metropolitan Police, he has now ordered ex-Police-constable Lowes, who has only 3½ years' service in order to qualify for a full police pension, to be re-examined with a view to his reinstatement in the Force?
§ Mr. SHORTTThe Commissioner has asked the Ministry of Pensions to supply particulars of the medical history of this man whilst in the Army and of the report of the Medical Board on which a pension was awarded. As soon as these documents have been received, the question of re-examination will be considered.
