§ 30. Mr. Eadieasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many women's organisations in Scotland have made representations to him about the White Paper on National Superannuation and National Insurance; and what reply he has sent.
§ Mr. CrossmanNone, Sir.
§ Mr. EadieI am surprised at my right hon. Friend's reply. What steps has he taken to acquaint women of the advantages which would accrue to them from this scheme? What single facet does he think gives them advantage in this scheme?
§ Mr. CrossmanI hate to say it, but my Answer referred only to Scotland. I have received quite a number of replies and suggestions from England. As to the way in which we seek to help women to understand the scheme, we have a popular version of the White Paper which summarises admirably precisely what women get under the women's charter of the scheme. This White Paper is being increasingly read.
