| Administrative / biographical background: |
The National Insurance Act 1959 extended the existing flat-rate national insurance scheme by providing, for employed persons, a system of contributions graduated according to earnings, with related graduated additions to the retirement pension. Provision was made for members of approved occupational pension schemes providing equivalent pension rights to "contract out" of these arrangements.
The scheme was superseded by the broadly similar provisions of the Social Security Pensions Act 1975. |
