§ Mr. GalbraithTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science why the universities superannuation scheme is no longer transferable to the National Union of Students superannuation scheme; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. JacksonI understand that accrued pension benefits in the universities superannuation scheme can be transferred to the National Union of Students superannuation scheme where a member of USS leaves employment which is pensionable under that scheme and becomes subject to the National Union of Students scheme.
