HC Deb 23 July 1959 vol 609 c149W
74. Sir J. Lucas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider instituting free life insurance for all police officers killed whilst on duty or who the from injuries thus received.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I do not consider that the provision of free life insurance would be appropriate. The Police Pensions Regulations already cover awards to the widows of officers who the as a result of injuries received in the execution of their duty.
