GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS SUPERANNUATION FUND. REPORT OF BOARD.

Laid before Parliament in pursuance of Section 124 of the Government Railways Act, 1926.

The Board has the honour to transmit for the information of Parliament the following report upon the transactions of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund for the year ended 31st March, 1941. The Revenue Account, Balance-sheet, and statements in connection therewith will be found appended. The expenditure for the year exceeded the income by £31,453 Os. 6d. Members' Contributions. —The income under this heading showed an increase of £5,428 18s. Bd. The number of contributors at 5 and 8 per cent, increased by 849 and 1, while contributors at 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10 per cent, decreased by 148, 5, 49, 2, 3, and 3 respectively. The increase in amount of contributions is due to appointments to the permanent staff. Contingent Contributors.—During the year 109 casual employees elected to contribute to the fund so that in the event of their subsequently being permanently appointed they would not be faced with a liability in respect of service prior to permanent appointment. The total number of employees so contributing at the end of the year under review was 640, and the amount standing to their credit £21,011 13s. lOd. Subsidy. —In addition to the sum of £170,000 paid into the fund by the Working Railways Department, a subsidy of £70,500 was received from the Treasury in accordance with the provisions of section 17 of Finance Act (No. 2), 1934. Interest.—The interest earned amounted to £63,581 Is. 4d., a decrease of £564 14s. 9d. as compared with the previous year. Table D, Statement of Investments, shows that the average rate of interest on securities held at the 31st March, 1941, was 4-234 per cent., and the average rate earned on the mean funds for the year 5-04 per cent., as against 4-239 per cent, and 5-08 per cent, respectively for the previous year. Life Allowances. —The expenditure on account of life allowances to members amounted to £483,676 7s. Bd., an increase of £23,680 4s. sd. as compared with the figures for the previous year ; the year ended 31st March, 1940, showed an increase under this heading of £26,626 13s. sd. Table A, Statement of Allowances, shows that the average amount of the 242 allowances granted during the year was £200 15s. 10d., and the average amount of 110 allowances discontinued was £170 12s. lid. Allowances to Widows and Children. —Until the passing of the Finance Act (No. 2), 1940, allowances to widows and children were paid only in cases where contributors died before retiring on a pension. Section 14 of this Act makes provision for payment of annuities to widows and children irrespective of whether contributors die before or after becoming entitled to a retiring-allowance. The expenditure on account of allowances to widows and children was £32,932 lis. Id. —£29,225 Is. Bd. to widows and children .of contributors who died before retiring and £3,707 9s. sd. to widows and children of contributors who died after retirement. The sum of £14,452 18s. Id. was received from the Working Railways Account during the year on account of the increased payments to widows and children, as provided in section 114, Part 111, of the Government Railways Act, 1926. Approval was received for the continuance of the cost-of-living bonus to annuitants in cases of special hardship where the allowance was less than £100, the amount of bonus granted being sufficient to bring the allowance up to £100, but with a maximum bonus of £26. The bonus is provided for out of the Working Railways Account, and is not a charge on the Superannuation Fund. At the 31st March, 1941, there were '2,646 members, 917 widows, and 324- children, making a total of 3,887 persons actually on the fund, involving an annual liability of £516,403 12s. 7d. R.
