HC Deb 04 April 1995 vol 257 cc984-5W
Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Lord President of the Council when he communicated to the Government Actuary's Department Her Majesty's Government's decision in respect of the SSRB's current recommendations; and if he will state the precise terms in which the decisions were conveyed to the Government Actuary's Department and his method of communicating them.

Mr. Newton

My officials wrote to the Government Actuary's Department on 23 March 1995 asking it to complete its report on the basis that the Government would propose acceptance of the recommendation for an increased death-in-service benefit. A copy of the letter was sent to the fund secretary at the same time. I have also sent the right hon. Member a copy.
