§ 107. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of National Insurance whether she is aware that her representative in Newport recently informed an old age pensioner that the death grant was not available for the purpose of cremations; and whether she will circulate other officers informing them of the fact that it is available where facilities exist.
Mr. B. TaylorNo, but I will make further inquiries if my hon. Friend will let me have details. Both the regulations and the instructions given to my officers are quite clear on the point referred to, and no further guidance appears necessary.
