HC Deb 18 December 1958 vol 597 cc235-6W
Mr. Pitman

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what estimate he has made of the number of non-industrial civil servants and of industrial civil servants who would benefit if all unestablished service prior to establishment were to count in full for superannuation purposes; and what percentage of the annual cost would be concentrated for each class of those who have retired on a salary of less than £750 per annum or its equivalent weekly wage, or who it has been assumed will be retiring.

Mr. Simon

The total including both non-industrial and industrial civil servants is estimated at between 520,000 and 545,000. I regret that the rest of the information requested is not readily available.
