§ Mr. O'HaraTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what representations he has had from pensioners of Plessey plc about their treatment by GEC.
§ Miss WiddecombeWe have received a number of representations from and on behalf of pensioners who were employed by Plessey plc prior to the companies' acquisition by GEC/Siemens in 1989. The representations concerned their occupational pension rights which are currently the subject of an agreement which is before the High Court for approval and the withdrawal of a free private health care plan which is a matter for the company as an employer, rather than for the pension scheme.
