HC Deb 27 July 1983 vol 46 c509W
Mr. Iain Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he will announce the Government's decision on the central fund proposals.

Mr. Fowler

After very careful consideration, I have advised the sponsors of the central fund proposals that complex new legislation would be required to implement their scheme in its present form. I have invited them to prepare and submit alternative proposals if they wish to do so. I have placed a copy of the report from the Occupational Pensions Board on the central fund proposals in the Library of the House of Commons.
