New clause 18 - Pensions for life
Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Bill
9:30 am

Mr Ivor Caplin (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Ministry of Defence; Hove, Labour)
So that I am absolutely clear about the purpose behind the clause, will the hon. Gentleman clarify the matter? Is he suggesting that if people move to the new scheme they should then get the benefit, or that if they are under the old scheme they should get the benefit of the new scheme?
