asked the Secretary of State for Industry what was the total actuarial value of the pensions of all employees and board members of the Post Office Corporation and National Giro appointed by him or his predecessors at the latest available date; what were the numbers of persons involved; and what were the comparable figures a year earlier.

Questions about the actuarial value of employees' pensions should be addressed to the Post Office Corporation and National Giro. For board members the information is not readily available and could only be compiled at disproportionate cost.
