§ Mr. AMMONasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what increased charge on the national Exchequer, by reason of superannuation charges, will be entailed by the transfer of Lieut.-Colonel Sir T. Duncan Rhind from the temporary to the established staff; and whether a similar policy is being carried out in other Civil Service Departments?
Mr. YOUNGIf Sir Duncan Rhind were to retire at the end of 10 years' service while in receipt of a salary of £850 per annum without bonus, he would become entitled to a pension of £106 5s-per annum, together with an additional allowance (i.e., a lump sum) of £283 6s. 8d. With regard to the second part of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on the 28th March to a question from the hon. Member for Pontefract (Mr. Forrest), to which I have nothing to add.
