§ Mr. Bryant Godman Irvineasked the Minister for the Civil Service if, in formulating his proposals for the London allowance, he will take into account the extent to which civil servants whose place of work is in London whilst their residence is outside London are using the London allowance to obtain increased pensions for retired civil servants whose place of residence is outside London.
§ Mr. Robert SheldonLondon weighting is paid according to an officer's place of work, not according to where he lives, and, as an integral part of salary, it is pensionable. However, the Pay Board is considering the general question of London weighting.
§ Mr. Bryant Godman Irvineasked the Minister for the Civil Service how many pensioners now residing outside London have their pensions increased as a result of the London allowance.
§ Mr. Robert SheldonNo information is readily available about the number of pensioners who retired with pensionable emoluments including London weighting or about their permanent place of residence after retirement.
