– in the House of Commons at on 30 July 1935.
Mr Richard Austin Spencer
, St Helens
asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will consider making such Amendment to the Superannuation Acts as will enable persons who were not established because at the material date they were too old, to be eligible for pension, provided that at the date of retirement the claimant can show not less than 15 years whole-time Government service?
Major George Davies
, Yeovil
I have been asked to reply. My hon. Friend is unable to contemplate a further Amendment of the Superannuation Acts.
As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation.
Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament.
In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill.
The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.
