HC Deb 02 July 1925 vol 185 cc2816-7W
Mr. T. KENNEDY

asked the Minister of Health whether he proposes setting up a Committee to consider the working of the Local Government and other Officers' Superannuation Act, and to make recommendations with respect to amending legislation; and, if so, whether, in view of the fact that the Act affects officers and servants, and that the latter outnumber he former by five to one, he will appoint sufficient direct representatives of the servants?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

It has seemed to me to be preferable in constituting the Committee to avoid appointing direct representatives of any section, and that the representatives of the various interests should state their case in evidence before an impartial body.
