HC Deb 07 December 1998 vol 322 c28W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received relating to the rule that Inland Revenue staff must retire at the age of 60 years. [62031]

Dawn Primarolo

There have been four representations to the Chancellor whilst in office, regarding the requirement for Inland Revenue staff to retire at age 60. All representations were made through constituency MPs. The representations raised concerns about the policy of the Inland Revenue to require retirement of their employees at age 60, with two representations involving individual employees' cases.
