§ Mrs. Alice Mahon (Halifax)I wish to present the following petition:
The Humble Petition of members of Senior Citizens Clubs and residents of Aged Persons dwellings in Halifax and Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire showeth that they support Age Concern's Campaign for a better deal for Pensioners which asks for the Christmas Allowance to be increased to £50 and for free bus passes and TV licences for all old age pensioners.It is time to listen to the elderly of this country. With all the talk about citizenship, I hope that we can at least listen to our elderly citizens.Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your Honourable House takes notice of this Campaign and urges the Government to take action as soon as possible.
And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, etc.
§ To lie upon the Table.
