HC Deb 20 July 1981 vol 9 c57W
Mr. Needham

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many civil servants ernployed by his Department have been re-engaged after pensionable age.

Mr. Pattie

The policy of successive Governments has been to allow Civil Servants who have the experience and skills required to work beyond pensionable age if suitable vacancies exist. Currently 11,700 civil servants in the Ministry of Defence have retired formally under the superannuation rules and have been re-engaged.
