§ Sir I. Fraserasked the Paymaster-General if the North Western Gas Board has yet submitted to the Minister an amendment of its superannuation scheme, which would permit inter alia an increase of pensions similar to those approved in the 1956 Act, in the cases of Mr. Allen and Mr. Hughes; on what date these proposals reached the Minister; and if he will now make a statement indicating when his formal approval will be given.
§ Mr. RentonNo. But my noble Friend understands that the North Western Gas Board intends that Mr. Allen and Mr. Hughes should receive the appropriate increases as soon as the amended scheme has been formally submitted and approved.
