HC Deb 30 October 1970 vol 805 cc229-30W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is aware of the concern caused by the non-transferability of private occupational pension rights when workers change their jobs; and if he will take steps to secure transferability in order to encourage greater mobility of labour and to give security to workers in later years.

Mr. Dean

We are preparing detailed proposals for legislation on the preservation of occupational pension rights which we will be discussing with representatives of occupational pension schemes and others concerned.
