On 22nd March, 1965, I confirmed amending superannuation schemes to give effect to the recommendations of the Commission on CIE Pensions and Sickness Benefit Payments for interim increases in pensions for CIE wages grade staff. I am informed by CIE that the Board is in correspondence with the trade unions concerned about the proposed final pension scheme recommended by the Commission.
I am informed also by CIE that the recommendations of the Commission for the payment of revised sickness benefit payments under the CIE welfare scheme have been implemented by the Board.
