§ Mr. Hannahasked the Minister of Health whether he can hold out any hope 3334W that when a local authority takes over a transport company from private owners steps will be taken to enable the previous service of the men to count in computing pensions?
§ Sir K. WoodThe general law governing superannuation of local government employés does not deal with this matter and it would therefore be necessary for the local authority concerned to obtain special powers. If any such transfer were effected by local legislation it would be for Parliament to consider whether such powers should be given.
