    John from what I have just read John Prescott it would appear had little or nothing to do with the MN ratings Pension fund.

    Copied from a Vindi site:



    Merchant Navy Pensions

    From time to time, questions are asked about MN Pensions. It has recently been raised again and I was able to direct the enquirer to a contact link in the Department of Work and Pensions who deal historic schemes which have now closed. The DWP passed on the enquiry to the RMT Union, successor to the National Union of Seamen, who replied.

    "Individual members of the Union were entitled to receive a "Retirement Benefit" called an Old Age Grant, but only if they retired from the sea and had completed 25 years of membership (of the Union).
    An industry-wide pension scheme, the Merchant Navy Ratings Pension Scheme, was established in 1978. Pension entitlement for service prior to that date would have depended on being a member of an individual employer's occupational pension scheme which unfortunately few employers operated in the 1950's and 1960's, particularly for seafarers on the Register"

    https://www.merchant-navy.net/forum/...pension-4.html

    Seems to have been a popular topic on this site in 2014?

    I did notice it was the usual detractors who try to lay blame at John Prescotts door.

    My #1 was to show respect for a man who went from a ships steward , got himself an education and went on to become the deputy Prime minister of the UK Certainly achieved a lot more in life than some on here did.
    I met John Prescott at the unvailing of the memorial for those lost on the Derbyshire in the garden of Saint Nicholas church in Liverpool. He was approachable , not full of Airs and Graces, at that unvailing was visably moved by the occassion.

  8. Thanks Doc Vernon, happy daze john in oz thanked for this post
