§ Mr. Tinkerasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in connection with the Local Government Superannuation Act, 1937, and the Superannuation Act, 1935, he will state if the counting of service, which this latter Act allows to be exchangeable as between local government service and Civil Service, is retrospective, and applies to employment in either service prior to 1935?
§ Captain CrookshankThe Local Government and Civil Service (Superannuation) Rules, 1936, made under Section 9 of the Superannuation Act, 1935, provide for the pensions of officers transferred between the Local Government Service and the Civil Service.
The rules apply (subject to certain conditions) to officers of local authorities which have adopted the rules before the date of the officer's transfer and cannot be applied retrospectively to an officer transferred at an earlier date.
