§ 12. Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallettasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what decision has been taken with regard to participation by members of the Civil Service in the National Insurance graduated pensions scheme.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydIn accordance with agreements reached on the Civil Service National Whitley Council and the Joint Co-ordinating Committee for Government Industrial Establishments, application was made to the Registrar of Non-Participating Employments last autumn to certify as non-participating the employment of all eligible established nonindustrial and industrial civil servants. The Registrar's certificate was received in October last, and all such civil servants will accordingly be contracted out of the National Insurance graduated scheme.
§ Vice-Admiral Hughes HallettMay I ask my right hon. and learned Friend what adjustments will be necessary to the conditions under which Civil Service pensions are paid in order that they can comply wth the law in regard to full transferability?
§ Mr. LloydIn view of the complications in this matter, I think I had much better have notice of that question.
