§ 46. Mr. GEORGE OLIVERasked the Prime Minister whether consideration has been given to the desirability of adopting a general superannuation scheme made available to all persons, irrespective of income or occupation?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENFrom such consideration as it has been possible to give to the subject, I doubt if a superannuation scheme of the nature referred to would be administratively practicable.
§ Mr. OLIVERIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is a genuine demand for something like this to be done and that it should not be confined to the Civil Service, the Police Force and municipal officers?
§ Mr. SNOWDENI am aware of the existence of a widespread demand for an extension of superannuation, but the hon. Member's question goes beyond that and refers to universal superannuation.
§ Captain CROOKSHANKIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is a very genuine demand for a superannuation scheme for the present Government?
