HC Deb 27 March 2003 vol 402 cc370-1W
Mr. David Stewart

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what timescale he has proposed to settle the outstanding public sector part-time workers' pension cases. [104568]

Mr. McCartney

No general time-scale has been proposed for such a settlement. That is a matter for the individual schemes and employers concerned.

A number of outstanding issues remain in respect of public sector schemes. Practical arrangements for a settlement in relation to public sector schemes are to be the subject of a case management hearing before the London Employment Tribunal at the end of March.
