§ Mr. Price-Whiteasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he is prepared to consider the introduction of legislation for the repeal or amendment of the Super- 384W annuation Act, 1834, in view of the hardship that its provisions are imposing at the present time upon superannuated employeees of the Civil Service who are engaged in part or whole-time employment following retirement from the Civil Service.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallNo, Sir. I assume the hon. Member is referring to Section 20 of the Superannuation Act, 1834, under which the pension payable during any period of re-employment is restricted to the amount, if any, by which pre-retirement pay exceeeded pay on re-employment. I cannot agree that this is an unreasonable provision.
