C.I.E. have informed me that a scheme to amend the Great Northern Railway Wages Staff Pension Fund, with a view to bringing the pensions payable to members of that Fund who were transferred to C.I.E. up to the level of pensions payable under the C.I.E. Pension Scheme for wages grade employees, is in the course of preparation and that the amending scheme will be submitted to me at an early date. I understand that the Board have in mind that the amending scheme will be retrospective to 1st October, 1958. Public notice will be given and an opportunity afforded to interested parties to make their representations before the scheme is confirmed.
