HC Deb 26 March 1936 vol 310 cc1422-3W
Mr. BATEY

asked the Minister of Health the amount of the balance in the Widows', Orphans', and Old Age Pension Fund at the latest available date?

Sir K. WOOD

I am sending to the hon. Member a copy of the report by the Government Actuary on the Financial Provisions of the National Health Insurance and Contributory Pensions Bill, 1935 (Cmd. 4906). Paragraph 7 of that report gives the amount of the balance in the pensions' account at that time and an estimate of the future position.
