HC Deb 18 November 1948 vol 458 c65W
83. Mr. Hardy

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that mental nurses, male and female, who can only qualify at mental hospitals and have contributed under the Asylum Officers (1909) Act, upon transfer, prior to 1938, to public assistance institutions, are deprived of their contributory service and all refund of their contributions; and if he will review this matter.

Mr. Bevan

Yes. This situation was an inevitable result of the patchy application of superannuation schemes in the Local Government Service before 1939. I see no reason to review the matter now.
