§ 15. Mr. Crawshawasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will standardise the shape and size of pension books.
§ Mr. DeanFrom July, 1971, retirement pension and supplementary pension order books will be of a standard size.
§ Mr. CrawshawMay I thank the hon. Gentleman for that assurance? Is he aware that in the past this has involved pensioners in extra expense when they have had to purchase different wallets for their pension books?
§ Mr. DeanI am obliged to the hon. Gentleman. There are only two sizes of order books now, and the reason for the change-over is that the order books to which he was referring are now computer-produced.
