Selection and destruction information

Selection has concentrated on policy material, discarding administrative records and copy material from other Social Security divisions. The main theme of the series is the development and consolidation of the Earnings-Related Scheme.

Administrative / biographical background

Insurance Division D was set up in 1965 by the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance, to perform special duties connected with the review of the National Insurance Scheme.

Under the Department of Health and Social Security, Insurance Division D was responsible for planning and overseeing the implementation of the Earnings-Related Scheme, whereby benefits were related to contributions. Its work was subsequently broadened to include general planning and the co-ordination of long-term benefits. By 1975, its duties had been reduced to long-term planning for pensions, and this function was absorbed by Insurance Division B in the same year.
