§ Mr. Kenneth Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will place in the Library a copy of the report of the Government Actuary on the effects on the contracted-out contribution rates in the Social Security Pensions Bill if the number of women employees were to become as high as the number of men employees in such schemes as a result of the equal access provisions.
§ Mr. O'MalleyI understand that the Government Actuary is preparing a memorandum which will include a note on the effect on the contracted-out contribution rates in the Social Security Pensions Bill of an assumption that the proportions of women in occupational pension schemes became as high as the corresponding proportions for men. I shall arrange for a copy to be placed in the Library as soon as it becomes available.
