HC Deb 24 October 1961 vol 646 cc84-5W
Mr. C. Johnson

asked the Minister of Defence if he will state the annual cost of notional contributions for pensions and dependants' benefits for all members of the Armed Forces in 1960–61 or the nearest available date.

Mr. Watkinson

As the provision made for pensions and dependants' benefits for members of the Armed Forces is on a non-contributory basis I regret that it is not possible to give an answer to the hon. Member's Question.
