HC Deb 19 December 1956 vol 562 c200W
Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett

asked the Secretary to the Treasury the estimated current cost of Civil Service superannuation; how much would it he if unestablished service before 1949 was reckoned in full instead of as to half; and what are the corresponding figures for live, ten and fifteen years ahead.

Mr. H. Brooke

Following are the figures:

£ million
Estimated total cost of Civil Service superannuation Estimated additional cost of full reckoning* Total
1956–57 42 5 47
1961–62 52 6 58
1966–67 60 7 67
1971–72 69 9 78
* These estimates are comparable to those given in the Report of the Royal Commission on the Civil Service (Cmd. 9333), para. 740; but they have been revised to take account of recent salary increases. They do not include the cost of reassessing lump sums paid in the past.
