§ 97. Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Supply the basic conditions for the payment of gratuities to Royal Ordnance factory workers on retirement on account of age, ill-health, or redundancy; when these conditions were laid down; and to what extent they differ from the Regulations previously in force.
§ Mr. Aubrey JonesThese employees are civil servants, and the payments which may be made to them are governed by the Superannuation Acts, 1834–1957, which apply to both industrial and non-industrial civil servants. The provisions of the Acts and Regulations made under them cannot conveniently be summarised within the scope of an Answer to a Parliamentary Question, but I am sending the hon. Member a statement of the main facts and I should be glad to give him any further information he may require.
