§ Mr. C. Smithasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will provide an estimate of the additional cost to the Exchequer in the first year and of the eventual additional cost per annum which would result from allowing all unestablished or temporary service rendered in the Civil Service prior to establishment, which under the 1935 and 1946 Superannuation Acts count as to one-half for pension purposes, to count in full.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallSo many assumptions have to be made in calculating the cost of this proposal that a reliable estimate cannot be given. The cost would, however, be many millions.
