HC Deb 14 March 1978 vol 946 cc113-4W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give as much information as may be available showing to what extent the stated number of metropolitan police officers who have resigned over recent years have taken their pensions to enable them to take other jobs; and how and to what extent early resignation adversely affects their pension entitlement.

Dr. Summerskill

A police officer who resigns with at least five years' but less than 25 years' service is entitled to a deferred pension payable at the age of extending coverage of its UHF television services, tells me it has been reviewing the most suitable way of extending television coverage to the Ceiriog Valley area. Feasibility studies are continuing, but it is too early to give any firm indication of the likely prospects for that area.
