HC Deb 29 June 1972 vol 839 c386W
37. Mr. Loveridge

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what compensation is paid to the next of kin of members of the police forces of the United Kingdom killed in the execution of their duty;

(2) what insurances against death or injury whilst on duty are provided for members of the police forces of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Carlisle

Payments in respect of death or injury whilst on duty are made in accordance with the Police Pensions Regulations, 1971 in Great Britain. Similar arrangements apply in Northern Ireland. Regulations will soon be laid before Parliament making improved provisions as from 1st April, 1972. There is no recognised general scheme for insurance cover.
