HC Deb 20 June 1934 vol 291 c371
26. Mr. POTTER

asked the Minister of Health the number of local authorities who have adopted the Superannuation Act, 1922; and will he introduce legislation making it compulsory for all local authorities to adopt the provisions of this Act?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Mr. Shakespeare)

The number of authorities in England and Wales who have availed themselves of the provisions of the Act is 948. In the present state of public business my right hon. Friend regrets that it is not possible to make any promise as to legislation.

Mr. PETHERICK

Can the hon. Member say what percentage of the total that 948 represents?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

Not without notice.
