§ 52. Mr. RAMSBOTHAMasked the Minister of Health whether he proposes to amend the Asylum Officers' Superannuation Act, 1909; and, if so, whether 2140 he can give any idea of the additional cost which will be incurred by such proposals?
§ Mr. GREENWOODAn actuarial investigation of the position under the Asylum Officers' Superannuation Act, 1909, is being made by the Government Actuary, and pending the result of it I am not in a position to make any statement.
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMIs the right hon. Gentleman not aware that he gave much the same information about two months ago, when he stated that he would expedite the report?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThat is quite true, but this is a very elaborate investigation, and it is bound to take some time even with the greatest possible expedition.
