HC Deb 14 March 1994 vol 239 c512W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what recent representations he has received about the future of the British Rail pension fund.

Mr. Freeman

There have been frequent detailed discussions on the future pension arrangements between officials from the Department, the BR board and the BR pension trustees. In addition, since the beginning of the year, I have met representatives from the three main railway trade unions and the British Transport Pensioners Federation.

We expect to bring forward proposals shortly for the future of BR pensions funds.
