100. Mr. LLEWELLYN-JONES

asked the Minister of Health whether he is in a position to state when the Committee of the Cabinet, which has been engaged in a survey of the various schemes of social insurance, as indicated in the Minister's speech on the introduction of the Widows', Orphans', and Old Age Contributory Pensions Bill on 31st October, 1929, is likely to complete their survey?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I would refer the hon. Members to the reply which was given on the 4th instant to the hon. Member for Devonport (Mr. Hore-Belisha) on the same subject.

Sir K. WOOD

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether this Committee has considered the question of granting widows in need a pension yet?
