HC Deb 22 November 1966 vol 736 cc1137-8
36. Mr. John Hall

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the revision of the Public Office Rules will be completed.

Mr. Diamond

I hope soon to consult the staff interests about revised Public Office Rules. When their views have been considered, a Statutory Instrument will be made.

Mr. Hall

Would not the Minister agree that these rules have been under revision for more than 18 months? Does he not appreciate that in some cases pensions are dependent upon the publication of the new regulations, because no decision can be made until they are published?

Mr. Diamond

I recognise that these matters are complicated and need very careful consideration, but I think that the Answer I have given should satisfy the hon. Member.
