HC Deb 01 February 1978 vol 943 c160W
Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will take steps to remove the provision in the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland Superannuation Scheme 1975 which prevents the war service of employees of Scottish agricultural research institutes and colleges who worked in Scottish universities until after 30th June 1950 and were previously insured under the Federated Superannuation Scheme for Scottish Universities from being taken into account in superannuation claims.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

No. Members of the Federated Superannuation Scheme for Universities, including any who worked in Scottish universities until after 30th June 1950, who became employed in a Scottish agricultural institute or college after that date were given credit for their war service on joining the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland 1975 Superannuation Scheme provided they had superannuable cover for that service. Those without such cover were not entitled to such credit.
