HC Deb 24 November 1981 vol 13 cc359-60W
25. Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will introduce legislation to improve the rights of early leavers in occupational pension schemes.

Mr. Rossi

When the Occupational Pensions Board's report entitled "Improved Protection for the Occupational Pension Rights and Expectations of Early Leavers" was published in June, my right hon. Friend the former Secretary of State said that he wanted everyone concerned with occupational pensions to have an opportunity to study the detail of the report, and that representations would be welcomed. We are still receiving constructive suggestions and comments and will be giving careful consideration to the views of all concerned before reaching our decision on the best way to proceed.
