§ Mr. Milneasked the Minister of Labour what steps he intends taking to secure the transferability of pension rights within all kinds of occupational schemes, particularly in view of the difficulties encountered by many people in securing employment because of their ineligibility due to age to join a new firm's pension scheme.
§ Mr. GunterTransferability of pension rights at present exists within the state social security scheme and between certain occupational schemes. Whether special provisions should be made for the preservation of pension rights under all occupational schemes will need to be considered in the light of the future of the State social security scheme, which is at present under review.
