§ 46. Sir W. de FRECEasked the Prime Minister whether the Government has reached any decision regarding the need for legislation amending the Widows', Orphans' and Old Age Contributory Pensions Act; and what, in that case, its intentions are?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Sir Kingsley Wood)I have been asked to reply. Up to the present, it has not been found necessary to consider the question of amending the Widows', Orphans' and Old Age Contributory Pensions Act, though note has been taken of some points of detail requiring consideration when the time comes.
§ Mr. BATEYAre we to understand that the Government have agreed to allow the amending Bill, which is down for Second Reading, to go through?
§ Sir K. WOODThat is another matter, with which I have no concern.
