HC Deb 13 July 1998 vol 316 cc53-4W
33. Mr. Quinn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to reform fire and police pension arrangements. [48430]

Mr. Michael

Consultation documents on the police and fire service pension schemes were published on 31 March of this year. We have invited comments by 31 July on the issues raised in the documents. We will take careful account of the comments we receive when we come to consider any changes to the pension arrangements for new entrants to the police and fire services and to medical retirement procedures.
