Richard Bruton
Question:90 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance, in view of the fact that the national understanding provided a higher pay increase of 3 per cent for the first £120 in order to produce greater equity for the lower paid, the reason he has not applied this provision to Civil Service pensioners who, under the present arrangements, only receive the 3 per cent increase on the first £60 per week on their pension; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
