Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Lord President of the Council, pursuant to his answer of 4 April,Official Report, columns 986–87, on what date the letter to which he refers was sent to the right hon. Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe; and whether his letter of 23 March to the Government Actuary Department indicated the Government's response to the SSRB's current recommendations other than their proposed increase in the death-in-service benefit.

Mr. Newton

The letter to the right hon. Member was sent on 4 April. The letter of 23 March indicated the Government's response to the two SSRB recommendations relating to benefit improvements. This was to allow the necessary considerations to be given to the Exchequer contribution level in the Actuary's valuation report.
