13. Mr. Debbieasked the Minister of Health whether in view of the dissatisfaction existing in the country at the moment in regard to the application of the family means test to the applicants for supplementary pensions, he will consider the withdrawal of that test and consider only the personal means of the applicant?
Mr. M. MacDonaldThe general basis upon which supplementary pensions are granted was recently decided upon by this House after very full Debate, and I have no power to substitute a personal means test for that provided by the Statute.
