HC Deb 13 July 1976 vol 915 cc158-9W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give details of any representations he has received concerning smaller occupational schemes, as outlined in Command Paper No. 6514.

Mr. Orme

We have received no representations so far about smaller occupational pension schemes as a result of the White Paper "The Rôle of Members in the Running of Schemes" (Cmnd. 6514).

Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give details of those representative organisations he proposes to approach concerning smaller schemes, as outlined in the White Paper on Occupational Pension Schemes, Command Paper No. 6514.

Mr. Orme

I have invited the following organisations to discuss the proposals contained in the White Paper: the TUC, the CBI, the Life Offices' Association and Associated Scottish Life Offices, the National Association of Pension Funds, the Society of Pension Consultants, the Institute of Actuaries, the Faculty of Actuaries, the Association of Consulting Actuaries, the UK Working Party on Superannuation (Local Government), the Association of British Chambers of Commerce and the Nationalised Industries' Panel on Personnel Matters.

Any views expressed by other bodies with an interest in this field will of course be taken carefully into account.
