HC Deb 05 May 1959 vol 605 cc26-7W
77. Mr. Swingler

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what progress he has made in his consultations with local authorities about an increase in pensions for public service pensioners.

Mr. Amory

An outline scheme was sent to local authority associations immediately after my Budget speech on 7th April. My hon. and learned Friend the Financial Secretary met representatives of the Associations on 14th April. The views of some of the Associations have been received and those of the remainder are expected shortly.
