HC Deb 08 July 1997 vol 297 c390W
Sir Robert Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to review the police widows pension regulations. [5777]

Mr. Michael

We will be giving early consideration to taking forward the recent review by the Home Department and the Treasury of the police pension scheme in general, including the question of a consultation exercise, but we have no present plans to extend the scope of the police widows pension.
