59. Mr. Higgs

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is in a position to make a statement with regard to the Government's attitude towards granting the pension to spinsters at an earlier age?

This question is at present under consideration by a committee, whose report is expected shortly. In the meantime I am not in a position to make any statement on the subject.
