HC Deb 07 February 1956 vol 548 c1495
34. Captain Pilkington

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will now make a statement on the Government's review of the financial position of those who have retired from the Armed Services, the Civil Service, the National Health Service, the teaching profession, the police, including those who served in India, the fire services, and the local authorities.

Mr. H. Macmillan

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the terms of the Pensions (Increase) Bill published yesterday.

Captain Pilkington

Is my right hon. Friend aware that there will be general satisfaction at the fact that those people, who have given so many years' service to the country, are at long last to be looked after rather better than they have been looked after in the past?
