HC Deb 12 April 1949 vol 463 c2632
39. Mr. Driberg

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the estimated cost in the coming financial year of reducing by five years the ages at which post-war credits become payable.

Sir S. Cripps

I am afraid that this information is not available.

Mr. Lipson

May I ask the Chancellor whether, in view of the cases of proved hardship and the fact that to include the lower age limits would cost a triflng sum, he will consider whether he can do anything about that?
