HC Deb 18 February 1998 vol 306 c656W
Ms Rosie Winterton

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if his Department has replied to a request from NBC Pension Trustees Ltd for funds to commence a legal action on the National Bus Pension Fund following a decision by the Pensions Ombudsman. [30678]

Mr. Prescott

After fully considering the legal advice and the relevant background, I have authorised my Department to reply to NBC Pension Trustees Ltd. offering to meet the trustees' costs with respect to a legal action on the National Bus Pension Fund.

This offer is consistent with my hope that all outstanding legal matters concerning the former National Bus Company pension funds are satisfactorily resolved as soon as possible.
