HC Deb 10 February 1938 vol 331 cc1233-4
4. Mr. Mander

asked the Minister of Labour the number of pension schemes which are in existence in the distributive trades?

Mr. E. Brown

The number of employers in the distributive trades known to my Department to have had in operation at the end of 1936 retirement pension schemes for all or certain classes of their employés was 610. In a number of these cases the arrangements were made through associations or organisations operating group pension schemes.

Mr. Mander

Is it possible to obtain particulars of the detailed schemes?

Mr. Brown

I am not sure about that. I have been making inquiries, and I hope to be able to publish the results in two or three months.
