HC Deb 23 May 1939 vol 347 c2070
90. Colonel Sandeman Allen

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that many pension schemes contain no provision enabling the manager of the scheme to provide for broken service and that termination of employment means termination of membership of the scheme; and will he take steps fully to protect the interests of members of such schemes whose employment is terminated by Militia service?

The Minister of Labour (Mr. Ernest Brown)

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given on 16th May to the hon. Member for Evesham (Mr. De la Bère).

Mr. Shinwell

Did not the right hon. Gentleman give a general assurance that these matters would be considered by the Government when they framed the regulations?

Mr. Brown

If the hon. Member looks at the answer, he will see that the point is covered.
