§ Mr. KennedyTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether it is his practice to recover an overpayment of superannuation benefit when the overpayment was made as a result of errors on the part of the supperannuation division.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythYes. Irrespective of the reasons for an overpayment of superannuation benefits, recovery is sought but care is always taken to avoid hardship.
