HC Deb 01 November 1920 vol 134 c61W
Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

asked the Minister of Transport what steps, if any, have been taken by his Department to give effect to the Resolution of the House, on 2nd March, 1920, regarding the increase of pensions to ex-railway servants; and whether he contemplates introducing legislation to deal with existing anomalies and the administration of railway provident funds?

Sir E. GEDDES

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on the 28th October in reply to a question on this subject by the hon. and gallant Member for Bournemouth (Lieut-Colonel Croft) and to other replies, of which I am sending the hon. Member copies. The question of introducing legislation is one for the railway companies and the funds, and not for the Government.
