I'll finish this when I'm not so busy. Simon West 11:56, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It would be good to have a brief history of pension provision in the UK. I think the 1906 law was the beginning.Johncmullen1960 07:40, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a table from the Family resources survey as to how much pension provision each age band in the UK has —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ala.foum (talk • contribs) 20:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup[edit]

I've had a careful read and a tidy up of this. As far as I can see it is now accurate and of about the right length. I've therefore deleted the clean up tags. --Phil Holmes (talk) 15:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Needs more references though. Seajay (talk) 10:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted the tag again and added some references. Please identify where references are missing before re-tagging. --Phil Holmes (talk) 12:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Historical information[edit]

I inserted here the historical ("peculiar") information which was located in the Pension article. I'm not sure how accurate it is, and it probably needs to be trimmed down, but it definitely was out of place in the general article. For now at least, I think this is a better home.

More on Civil Service Pensions[edit]

There seems to be some lack of clarity about when and the extent to which civil service pensions became a standard concept. I claim no expertise in the subject but Rudyard Kipling's In the Rukh, the first of the Mowgli stories, was published in 1893 and he felt comfortable having a character say, without any explanation, "Would it not be better to work for pay from the Government? There is a pension at the end of long service." Text This hardly appears to jibe with the article's descriptions of, e.g., Civil List Pensions. Also, an industrious party might wish to incorporate some of the great information in this page into the sadly lacking Timeline of pensions in the United Kingdom.
