POLICE: RETIREMENT

Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police (a) constables, (b) sergeants, (c) inspectors, (d) chief inspectors, (e) superintendents, (f) chief superintendents and (g) ACPO-rank officers were compulsorily retired in each police force under Regulation A19 (Police Pension Regulations) in each financial year from 2010-11 to 2013-14.

Mike Penning, Minister of State for Policing, Criminal Justice and Victims: Data on this specific issue is not held centrally. Police forces are permitted to retire officers under regulation A19 at their own discretion and are not obliged to provide any information to the Home Office on this.

Parliament has been dissolved until after the General Election on 12th December and there are now no MPs. This website is for reference of my work when I was a Member of Parliament.

I am not seeking re-election.
