HC Deb 19 July 1923 vol 166 c2512W
Mr. ADAMS

asked the Minister of Pensions the additional cost involved if the maximum income allowable to pensioners, including the old age pension, was increased from £1 to £1 10s. per week?

Major TRYON

If 30s. were adopted as the standard of need in all cases of need pension, it is estimated that the additional annual expenditure would amount to £1,250,000.
