HC Deb 24 October 1963 vol 682 cc252-3W
Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is still in negotiation with the British Railways Board with a view to obtaining better supplementary pension for railway super-annuitants; and whether he proposes to make a grant of Government money for that purpose.

Mr. Marples

Responsibility for the pensions of railway super annuitants rests primarily with the British Railways Board, which introduced its new supplementation scheme as recently as 1st January of this year. The Board has no present proposals for further supplements.
