HC Deb 10 June 1952 vol 502 cc3-4W
Captain Ryder

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total number of Government employees who are members of any of the following types of superannuation schemes: Statutory Superannuation Scheme, Superannuation Fund approved by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue under Section 32, Finance Act, 1921, Superannuation Scheme approved by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue under Section 21, Finance Act, 1947, and an excepted Staff Assurance Scheme.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

About 600,000 established civil servants are pensionable under the Superannuation Acts, 1934 to 1950. No civil servants are covered by superannuation schemes of the other types mentioned in the question, but approximately 5,000 are members of the Federated Superannuation System for Universities and the Federated Superannuation System for Nurses and Hospital Officers.
