HC Deb 08 June 1961 vol 641 cc109-10W
79. Mr. Marsh

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what provision will be made from police pension funds for the families of Police Inspector Pawsey and Police Sergeant Hutchins who were killed in the course of their duties in the Metropolis on the afternoon of 3rd June.

Mr. Renton

I am sure that hon. Members will wish to take this opportunity of expressing their sympathy to Mrs. Pawsey and Mrs. Hutchins, whose husbands were killed while doing then duty. The Police Pensions Regulations provide for the payment of special pensions to the dependants of regular police officers who die as a result of injuries received in the execution of their duty. Mrs. Pawsey's total benefits, including police pension and industrial injuries payments, have been provisionally assessed at £10 1s. 1d. a week, and Mrs. Hutchins' benefits at £10 7s. 0d. a week, They have been so informed.
