HC Deb 19 February 1969 vol 778 c105W
Rear-Admiral Morgan Giles

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate he has made of the cost of bringing the retired pay and pensions of all Armed Forces personnel, including widows, who were retired or discharged before 1945 up to the current 1945 code.

Mr. Reynolds

No detailed estimate of the cost of such a proposal has been made, but in the short time available we have estimated that the cost might be of the broad order of £300,000 before taking account of the Pensions (Increase) Measure.
