§ Sir J. REMNANTasked the Home Secretary if, in the East Hiding of Yorkshire., retired police pensioners on rejoining the force during the War and prior to the Police Emergency Act were compelled to contribute to their pension fund out of their weekly wage although no increase in their pensions could be allowed?
§ Mr. SHORTTNo deduction was made from the net pay promised to these men on rejoining: but, in order to comply with the statutory requirement that deductions should be made, the rate of pay was specially increased by 2j per cent., and the amount of the increase was credited to the Pension fund.
