HC Deb 19 December 1955 vol 547 c253W
90. Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power why those employees of the Central Electricity Authority who were formerly employed by the Midland Electricity Corporation are not allowed to join the new superannuation scheme.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

The new superannuation scheme is designed to cover manual workers for whom no provision had previously been made. Former employees of the Midland Electricity Corporation are not eligible because they are already covered by arrangements which existed before nationalisation.
