HC Deb 05 April 1949 vol 463 c1856
36. Mr. Lipson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will now introduce legislation to enable him to repay Income Tax credits to men 60 years of age and to women 55 years of age in view of the hardship caused by non-receipt.

Sir S. Cripps

I cannot anticipate my Budget Statement.

Mr. Lipson

While not wishing to embarrass the right hon. and learned Gentleman, will he say that before he gives his final approval to his Budget proposals he will make sure that this is included?

Mr. Gallacher

Will the right hon. and learned Gentleman also consider the widow whose husband died a very short time before he was due to draw postwar credits? There are many such cases.
