HC Deb 15 December 1952 vol 509 cc121-2W
61. Mr. Carr

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the hardship suffered by former employees in the Tramways Department of the London County Council who retained their pension rights on being transferred to the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933, but now find themselves debarred from benefiting under the Pensions (Increase) Acts, because their service has been partly under the Council and partly under the Board: and whether he will exercise his power to make regulations to bring such persons within the scope of the Acts.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I would refer my hon. Friend to my written answer to the hon. Member for West Ham, North (Mr. Lewis) on 21st November, of which I am sending him a copy.
