§ Dr. D. Johnsonasked the Minister of Transport what increases have been made in the pensions of British Railways super annuitants since 1955.
§ Mr. MarplesThree schemes for supplementing the pensions of British Railway super annuitants have been introduced since 1955; the most recent was introduced by the British Railways Board with effect from 1st January of this year. It is not possible to give details of percentage or representative increases granted, because the supplements made under the schemes vary widely according to a variety of factors, including the amount of pension, the superannuation fund from which the pension is paid, the amount of any previous supplements, and year of retirement.
