HC Deb 12 July 1960 vol 626 c93W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary to the Treasury how many established and unestablished civil servants were transferred from the Dublin Registry of Deeds and Land Registry to the Belfast Registry of Deeds and Land Registry, respectively, on the setting up of the latter in 1923; whether their pension rights were all equally preserved; and how many complaints, and from whom, he has received about those pensions.

Sir E. Boyle

In transfers of staff arranged in 1923, six officers went from the Registry of Deeds in Dublin, and five from the Land Registry, to the Belfast Registry of Deeds. Twelve officers transferred from the Land Registry in Dublin to the Land Registry in Belfast. These officers did not all have the same eligibility for pension, under the general rules governing the counting of their service. Complaints about the amount of service counted in their pension have been received from, or on behalf of, five of the officers.
