HC Deb 28 May 1976 vol 912 c416W
Mr. Litterick

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the allowances paid to police officers for handling dead bodies in an advanced state of decomposition are likely to be revised.

Dr. Summerskill

Any proposals to revise the gratuities paid to police officers for this duty would be a matter for the Police Council in the first instance. I understand that there are no such proposals before the council at present.
