67. Mr. Callaghan

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he informed the Police Council that he would not be able to adhere to his original intention to make the police regulations concerning commutation of pension operative from 1st April, 1958.

Mr. R. A. Butler

After consulting the Associations represented on the Police Council on the details of the proposed regulations, I was satisfied that it would not be possible to complete the Parliamentary and other processes prescribed by the Police Pensions Act, 1948, by 1st April.
