asked the Home Secretary how many members of the Metropolitan Police Force retired under a police Order issued in 1918 giving men with 28 years' service and over the option of retiring on giving one month's notice;

and whether this month's notice was required in case of men who had secured their pensions under the Police (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1915?

The number of officers with 28 years' service and upwards who took advantage of the Order was 109. A month's notice to retire on pension was required of officers who had secured their pensions and who subsequently desired to retire on pension.
