HC Deb 24 February 1994 vol 238 cc320-1W
Mr. Henderson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will provide a table which lists(a) the non-local authority employers who employ staff covered by the local government superannuation scheme, (b) the numbers of (i) current and (ii) retired employees covered by the local government superannuation scheme attached to each such non-local authority employer and (c) the total number of non-local authority (i) current and (ii) retired employees covered by the local government superannuation scheme.

Mr. Baldry

There are 1,345 non-local authority employers classified as scheduled or admitted bodies under the local government superannuation scheme in England. I will send the hon. Member a list of their names shortly. The Department keeps no record of the numbers of active and retired scheme members of each non-local authority employer. That information is available only from the local authorities which administer the LGSS. The total number of employees of non-local authority employers in the LGSS, as at 31 March 1993, was 58,634; retired employees, including dependants and former members of the LGSS entitled to deferred benefits, totalled 67,773.

Mr. Henderson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many(a) current and (b) retired employees are covered, in total, by the local government superannuation scheme.

Mr. Baldry

The number of employees in the local government superannuation scheme (LGSS) in England as at 31 March 1993, totalled 948,663. The number of retired employees, including dependants and former members of the LGSS entitled to deferred benefits, totalled 999,794.
