Hillasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer by what percentages the maximum pensions for 40 years' pensionable service ended 31st December, 1967, in the grades of postman, clerical officer, executive officer and principal exceed the corresponding pensions, including increases under Pensions (Increase) Acts, for service in those grades ended 31st December in the years 1946, 1950, 1954, 1962, and 1964, respectively.
§ Mr. Harold LeverThe percentages are shown in the following table. London rates of pay have been used for figures up to 1954, since these correspond most closely with the outer London rates which were first introduced in 1961.
