§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what are the reasons for the delays in the production and publication of the Government Actuary's quinquennial report; when he received the report; and when it will be published.
§ Mrs. Gillian ShephardWe have not yet received the Government Actuary's report. We are informed by the Government Actuary that the delay has been due to heavy work demands and recruitment difficulties which have now been resolved. However, we understand that the report is now almost completed and that the Government Actuary expects to submit the report within the next few weeks.
