General Compensation Scheme
and the New Pension Scheme
writing in reply to your letter of 12 November 1990 about compensation arrangements for members of HMOCS and the relevance of such arrangements to the option to join the new pension scheme.
Compensation arrangements for HMOCS are, as you are aware, a matter for HMG. I cannot therefore give any assurance as to the form of those arrangements.

in the not too distant future. Unfortunately our expectations in this regard have proved to be wrong. It does seem possible that any scheme will be aimed on encouraging people to serve on and beyond 1997. In a letter dated 21 August 1989, in response to a MP'S query about
