Dear Mr. Browning,

Your letter of 18 March to Mr Leeks of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has been passed to this office for attention. I am responsible for judicial pensions and related matters here.

I note you would like to have some information about the pension arrangements for judges (which I take to mean both Judges of the Supreme Court and Circuit Judges), and Stipendiary Magistrates.

As far as the general pension arrangements for each office-holder are concerned, I do not think I can do better than enclose copies of the notes we send to new appointees.

The judicial pension schemes are entirely separate and distinct from the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme and there are no provisions for aggregation of service between the two occupations.

I hope this gives you all the information you require, but please let me know if there is anything further you would like

I am sending a copy of this letter without enclosures, and for information only, to Clinton Leeks in the FCO and Teresa Burnhams in the Treasury's Superannuation Division.

W Arnold

Your sincerely,

William Amold.
