The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will set a firm deadline for the submission of claims for ex gratia payments to former members and dependants of former members of the Scottish Transport Group pension schemes so that the remainder of the total amount agreed for ex gratia payments can be paid out to those who have submitted claims.
The answer
Given the slow current paceof payments, I will consider over the next few weeks whether a deadline shouldbe set and, if so, how it will operate. I will remain mindful of the positionof those with entitlement to payments under the present arrangements but who,for whatever reason, have not claimed them.
