HC Deb 23 April 1956 vol 551 c118W
67. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what progress has been made with the gas and electricity boards with regard to the improvement of their pensions schemes; and if he will give appropriate details.

Mr. Renton

My right hon. Friend has approved the proposals submitted to him by the Gas Council and area gas boards and has approved in principle those submitted by the Central Electricity Authority and area electricity boards, for increasing the pensions of ex-company pensioners in these two industries; and he has written to my hon. Friend outlining these proposals.
