§ 52. Sir Ian Fraserasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will extend the old persons tobacco concession to blind persons who receive their non-contributory old age pension at an earlier age than the normal.
§ Mr. GaitskellThis is already the case. Any blind person who is an habitual smoker and is in possession of a pension order book entitling him to a non-contributory pension under the Old Age Pensions Act, 1936, may apply for Tobacco Duty relief.
§ Sir I. FraserDoes that mean that they get it at the age of 40?
§ Mr. GaitskellAt the age of 40, yes.
