HC Deb 08 July 1930 vol 241 cc237-8
73. Mr. SORENSEN

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider amending the Asylum Officers' Superannuation Act to allow nurses to receive superannuation after 25 instead of 33 years' service?

Miss LAWRENCE

The Act mentioned already entitles a nurse to a pension after 20 years' service if she has attained the age of 50 years. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of the reply recently given to a question, as to the prospects of legislation on this subject.

Mr. SORENSEN

Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that a police officer who serves 25 years is entitled to a pension although his labour is far less arduous than that undertaken by male nurses?
