§ Sir M. Stoddart-Scottasked the Minister of Health if he will state the causes of the delay in publishing the Government Actuary's Report on his valuation of the National Health Service superannuation scheme; when the actuary's next report is due; and if he expects to be able to publish the last before he receives the next.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithThe Government Actuary's findings raise important and complex questions of policy which have necessitated detailed consideration with other Ministers. The report of the valuation for the Septennium 1955–1962 should be received in 1963 or 1964. A summary of the last report is published 173W in my Department's Annual Report for 1958 (Part I), which was presented to Parliament yesterday.
