HC Deb 30 March 1971 vol 814 c333W
Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many people are receiving pensions under the National Health Service superannuation scheme at reduced level in view of continuing part-time or full-time employment in the National Health Service.

Mr. Alison

At 31st December, 1970, the pensions of 1,288 out of a total of 91,180 National Health Service superannuation scheme pensioners were reduced or totally abated on account of re-employment in the public service. The vast majority of such re-employments were in the National Health Service.

Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many people receiving a pension under the National Health Service superannuation scheme are in full-time or part-time work outside the Health Service.

Mr. Alison

I regret that the information is not available. Re-employed National Health Service pensioners are required to notify re-employment only if remunerated from public funds.
