HC Deb 14 February 1973 vol 850 cc352-3W
Dr. John A. Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many cases of superannuation contribution transfers have been approved by his Department under the Superannuation (Local Government and Approved Employment) Interchange (Amendment) Rules 1971.

Mr. Rippon

An interchange of superannuation rights under these rules does not require my approval.

Dr. John A. Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many applications for transfer of superannuation contributions under the Superannuation (Local Government and Approved Employment) Interchange (Amendment) Rules 1971 and the Police Pensions Regulations 1971 have been refused: (i) by his department and (ii) by the local authority involved.

Mr. Rippon

No such applications have to be submitted to me, and information about them is not collected by my Department.

Dr. John A. Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many appeals his Department has received to date from people to whom local authorities have refused to grant a transfer value payment under the Superannuation (Local Government and Approved Employment) Interchange (Amendment) Rules 1971; and how many of these cases involved policemen.

Mr. Rippon

No appeals within the scope of these rules have so far been made. If the hon. Member has any particular case in mind, I should be glad to look into it.
