asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he is yet in a position to state what adjustments to long-service naval pensions are contemplated by reason of the retiral pensions benefits proposed under the National Insurance Act, 1946.

I fully realise its importance, but it concerns a number of other Departments besides the Admiralty. I cannot yet give any firm date.
