Do the witnesses have statistics in respect of people who are working past retirement age or the cohort of the population who do not reach retirement age but contributed significantly nonetheless? The narrowing of population numbers in statistics as one ascends age bands is familiar to all. Many Members have attended funerals of people who were in their 50s or early 60s when they died, be they friends, friends of colleagues or otherwise. Is there any research on the issue of people who did not reach retirement but had made a contribution?
