§ 64. Mr. Burkeasked the Minister of Health whether a pensioner, in receipt of the scale rate of 37s. plus 8d, rent allowance and whose superannuation has been disregarded in his assessment, is entitled to the winter allowance in full, or whether superannuation is to be no longer regarded as a free resource when determining entitlement to winter allowance?
§ Miss HorsbrughI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Stoke (Mr. Ellis Smith) on 4th December, 1941, in the course of which the principles governing the grant of winter additions were fully explained. I am sending a copy of this reply to my hon. Friend, and if he has any case in mind, I shall be glad to have particulars.
