HC Deb 21 July 1938 vol 338 c2448W
Mr. Oliver

asked the Minister of Health whether he will state the age at which an insured male person may become unemployed and be unable to obtain further employment and still be entitled to old age pension on attaining the age of 65?

Mr. Elliot

A man who has been continuously insured for at least ten years at the date when he becomes unemployed is entitled, irrespective of his age at that date, to have his insurance continued until he reaches pension age, provided that he remains throughout available for, but unable to secure employment.
