§ 95. Captain BOWYERasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the superannuated staff of the railways who retired upon the pre-War scale of pensions are still awaiting an adequate settlement; and will he approach the rail way companies and try to secure that effect should be given to the unanimous Resolution of this House which was passed in March, 1920?
§ Mr. GOSLINGI have no precise information as to the position of superannuated railway servants who retired upon the pre-War scale of pensions but I understand that some of the Bailway Companies are paying sums supplementary to the amounts which such pensioners are entitled to receive from the various superannuation funds. I have no power to intervene in the matter, but I am forwarding a copy of the hon. and gallant Member's question and this reply to the Railway Companies' Association.
