HC Deb 27 October 1920 vol 133 cc1750-1W
Major PRESCOTT

asked the Minister of Health whether he is in a position to announce the intentions of the Government with regard to the superannuation of local government officers; and if there is any likelihood of a Superannuation Bill being introduced at an early date?

Dr. ADDISON

A Bill is in course of preparation, but my hon. Friend will realise that I cannot hold out any expectation of the measure being passed this year.

Mr. WATERSON

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the hardship of many aged discharged municipal employés; and whether it is his intention to draft legislation to provide superannuation for all municipal workers, irrespective of occupation?

Dr. ADDISON

A Bill is being prepared to make provision for the superannuation of employés of local authorities.
