<p>I understand and sympathise with the veterans affected. However, the issue of pre-1975
pensions is common to all contemporary public service schemes. Given the likely number
of former employees, the financial impact of resolving legacy pension issues is expected
to be very significant. There would also be potentially overwhelming practical and
administrative difficulties in recreating precise service and pay records and calculating
pension awards for people who served about half a century ago, or for their surviving
dependants.</p>
