DRAFT LETTER
Paragraph 2(b): are we now fixed on 30th June 1997, notwithstanding the possibility of a grand exodus ?
Paragraph 3, last sentence: should we not make it clear that the legislation could be by Order in Council rather than Act ?
Paragraph 6 lines 9 and 11: "well above" rather than "far above " ? and certainly "at worst" rather than "in extremis".
Paragraph 7, last sentence: do you not think that there should be a reference to the 5% here and not only in the Annex ?
Somewhere: Would it be wise to add a reminder that the question of the right to retire with immediate payment of pension is still outstanding ?
