HC Deb 19 March 1934 vol 287 cc885-6W
Mr. TOUCHE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the probable cost of removing the means limit for pre-war police pensioners imposed by the Pensions (Increase) Acts, 1920 and 1924?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Without a detailed examination of every case it is impossible to give any reliable estimate of the additional cost that would be involved by the removal of the limit of means laid down in the Pensions (Increase) Acts, but I am advised that it would probably be of the order of £100,000 or £200,000 a year in the case of police pensioners from forces in England and Wales.
