Der Keith,

PENSIONS: FORFEITURE

i.

Thank you for your letter of 4 February. As a possible shortcut to an answer to your query we have asked our own Personnel Services Department (PSD) how they understand the provision is used. PSD have provided us with the attached note. I think that it answers the point your Law Draftsman has raised: or at least as far as we can do so without consulting HM Treasury for the authoritative HMG opinion (which I can of course do in slower time, if you need more details).

You for Чи

Clita
