§ Mr. W. J. Brownasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider permitting post-war recruits to the Metropolitan Police who have served in the Armed Forces to count their war service as approved police service.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonThe question whether service in the Armed Forces can be allowed to count as approved service for pension purposes in an employment entered into after the war, raises wide issues affecting other public services as well as the police. As far as post-war recruits to the police service are concerned, I can only say that I can see no justification for the introduction of legislation which would place them in a specially favourable position in this respect.
