§ 23. Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will review the provision of personal accident insurance arrangements for police officers.
§ Mr. MayhewMy right hon. Friend is satisfied that the Police Pensions Regulations, which are made after consultation with the local authority and police staff associations, provide adequate cover for police officers who die or who retire through injury on duty. In our view, it would not be appropriate to use public funds to supplement this statutory provision by insurance.
