Support Scheme For Police Dependants

EDM number 949 in 2009-10, proposed by Pete Wishart on 25/02/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Police.

That this House welcomes the new support scheme announced by the Scottish Government to provide financial support for families of police officers killed in the line of duty; notes the Police Survivor Support Scheme will see up to £20,000 given to families of officers who have been killed to give added financial support after the end of the pension entitlement; further notes that the Scottish Government-funded initiative will be run by the Police Dependants' Trust, which has been providing financial support to the families of officers killed on duty for over 40 years; believes that the brave police officers who have given their lives to protect communities should not be forgotten; and recognises that this scheme will give financial support to those dependants where financial hardship has arisen.

This motion has been signed by a total of 6 MPs.
