Land Court (Chairman's Pension)

HC Deb 31 July 1956 vol 557 cc114-5W

98. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland to state the age at which, under his regulations, a president of the Scottish Land Court becomes eligible for a pension; and to what extent the amount of pension is dependent on years of service.

Mr. J. Stuart

The Chairman of the Land Court may be awarded a pension on resignation after fifteen years' service or on becoming disabled by ill-health. There is no age qualification and the amount of pension does not depend on the number of years of service.
