HC Deb 24 March 1987 vol 113 cc141-2W
44. Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will make a statement on the meeting between the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Armed Forces, and representatives of the Officers' Pensions Society; and what action has been taken by his Department as a result of that meeting.

Mr. Freeman

The meeting was arranged at the request of the chairman of the Officers' Pensions Society, Admiral Sir Peter White, GBE. It provided an opportunity for the society to discuss with me a number of issues associated with pensions awarded under the Armed Forces Pension Scheme which are of particular concern to members of the society. These discussions were helpful to mutual understanding of the problems and I am continuing to give consideration to points raised.
