§ 94. Mr. HORRABINasked the Minister of Health if he has received any complaints of sub-postmasters, who are also shopkeepers, bringing undue pressure to bear on old age pensioners to purchase articles when drawing their pension money; and, if so, whether he will take some action in the matter?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Miss Lawrence)My right hon. Friend has not received any complaints of the nature mentioned by my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. BLINDELLMay I ask whether it will be the policy of the hon. Lady's Department to discourage such questions as this with its nasty imputation against small shopkeepers and sub-postmasters?
