Harvie-Wattasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the changed economic circumstances and the hardship caused in many families he has considered the reduction from: seven years of the age at which savings certificates held by young children can be repaid, or whether he will alter the conditions under which repayment can be claimed by parents of such.
