HC Deb 10 April 1952 vol 498 cc261-2W
Mr. Ede

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if agreement has yet been reached on the pay of chief constables, assistant chief constables and the various grades of police superintendents; from what date pay under such agreement will be paid; and what are the new scales of pay.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

Chief constables, assistant chief constables and all grades of superintendent have received an increase in pay of £150 per annum.

The new scales of pay for the county and borough forces are as follows:
