§ Mr. Gowasked the Minister for the Civil Service whether he will seek to amend Section 1 of the Superannuation Act 1946 so that, for the purposes of superannuation in the Post Office, those directed to work in the mines during and immediately after the Second World War may include such period of work in the mines when computing reckonable service for superannuation purposes.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisNo. Practically everyone of military age was engaged on work of national importance during the war. In 1946 Parliament agreed to the restriction of the concession to those who had been in the Armed Forces of the Crown, the Merchant Navy or the Mercantile Marine and accepted as having a very special claim for consideration.
