§ Mr. Patrick Jenkinasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the references to the Occupational Pensions Board, which he announced on Monday, to review and report on the need for measures to improve security for occupational pension rights and expectations, will extend to occupational pension schemes in the public sector.
§ Mr. EnnalsThe terms of the reference impose no restriction on the Occupational Pension Board's freedom to consider practice in public sector or any other occupational pension schemes. It is, however, for the Board to decide the extent of its review of this question within those terms.
