POLICE INJURY RETIREMENT PENSIONS

Early day motion 1102, tabled 23 November 2005 by Lord Garnier (Conservative). Signed by 134 members.

That this House notes that a number of retired police officers who have been receiving injury awards face having those awards cut when they reach statutory retirement age; further notes that many of those officers believed that the awards would be paid to them for life; further notes that awards of this kind were normally made to officers injured while engaged in protecting the interests of the public; and calls on the Government to investigate whether officers have been misled about the rules that would apply to their awards.
