HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 c233W
Mr. Driberg

asked the Minister of Health if when the increased old-age pension is paid, he will consult with county councils with a view to arranging the payment of 6s. a week pocket money to all men and women in public institutions, whether over the retirement pension age or not.

Mr. Bevan

The proposal would require legislation, and I have noted it for consideration in that connection.
