§ Mr. Carterasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many infringements of the 1927 Superannuation Act have taken place since its inception.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinThe only infringements of which the Registrar of Friendly Societies is aware are those where documents required in respect of funds registered under the Act have been prepared or have been sent to him outside the periods specified by the Act for their preparation or delivery. No separate record of these instances is available, and their total number, which is believed to be small, could only be ascertained at the cost of disproportionate time and effort. There have been no prosecutions in respect of offences under the Act since 1938. Records prior to that year are not available.
§ Mr. Carterasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the 1927 Superannuation Act will be repealed with the enactment of the Government's pensions proposals.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinThe provisions of the Superannuation and Other Trust Funds (Validation) Act, 1927, and any question of the amendment or repeal of the Act will be considered in connection with the Government's legislation on pensions to be introduced in due course.
