§ Mr. Russell Johnstonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Inverness on 12 March 1980, concerning the regulations to introduce the scheme for extending war service concessions to persons who have transferred between public service pension schemes, when he stated that such regulations would be laid in the summer, if he will state reasons for the delay; and when the regulations will now be introduced.
§ Sir George YoungThe task of securing agreement of all the schemes involved as to appropriate detailed arrangements proved more complex and difficult than I had hoped, but has now been satisfactorily completed. The National Health Service (Superannuation) (War Service, etc) Amendment Regulations 1980, Statutory Instrument 1980 No. 1949, were made on 15 December 1980 and laid before Parliament on 23 December 1980.
