§ Mr. Banksasked the Secretary of State for Defence what steps he is prepared to take to review existing pension 614W arrangements for serving and retired members of the Armed Forces.
§ Mr. Duffy:With the imminent introduction of a facility to transfer accrued pension rights in and out of the Armed Forces Pension Scheme, the review of Armed Forces' pensions, begun in 1970, will be completed. There are, therefore, no immediate plans for a further review of the Armed Forces pension scheme which is now among the best occupational pension schemes in the country.
