HC Deb 21 July 1965 vol 716 c213W
22. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for Defence why civil servants employed by his Department who retire voluntarily after the age of 50 years have their benefits frozen until they reach the age of 60 years.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

Because that is what Section 34, Clause 2, of the Superannuation Act, 1949, provides.
