APPENDIX V.SUPERANNUATION AND RETIRED ALLOWANCES.Secretary, Committee of Public Accounts, At the proceedings of the Committee on 13 July, 1956, I undertook to furnish the following further particulars on the account for this Vote, 1954/55:— (1) Subhead M—Appropriations-in-Aid—Item (2)—Payment by local authorities towards certain awards made under the Superannuation Acts. Under the Local Government (Superannuation) Act, 1948—section 82 (as amended by section 71 of the Local Government (Superannuation) Act, 1956) and section 84—the pensionable service of a local authority officer who becomes an established civil servant may be deemed to be pensionable service for the purposes of the Superannuation Acts, and in the calculation of any award under those Acts his local and civil service may be aggregated. The 1948 Act provides also that the local authority with which the officer had served shall make a contribution towards the cost of the superannuation award made, the contribution being based on the length of pensionable local service rendered by the officer and his salary on leaving the employment of the local authority. (The converse applies where a civil servant transfers to the local authority service.) The variation between the estimated (£600) and actual receipts (£1,314) arose because receipts are fortuitous and cannot be estimated accurately in advance. The receipt of £1,314 covers three contributions towards a retiring lump-sum (as well as pension) and one towards a death gratuity. (2) Extra Receipts payable to Exchequer in respect of refunds of marriage gratuities (£246). The number of reinstated widows who made refunds of marriage gratuities in order that previous service might be reckonable for pension on ultimate retirement was two. (Signed) T. K. WHITAKER, Secretary, Department of Finance. 27 July, 1956. |
