HC Deb 23 March 1978 vol 946 c697W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, as police have to be available and on call at all times, he will arrange for them to have tax-free housing and furniture supplied.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

Police officers are already entitled to tax-free housing, or in lieu, to a rent allowance which is effectively tax-free.
