HC Deb 18 June 1992 vol 209 c636W
Mr. O'Hara

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what representations he has had from pensioners of Plessey plc about their treatment by GEC.

Miss Widdecombe

We 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.
