§ 76. Miss Hornsby-Smithasked the Minister of National Insurance what 8W approaches have been made to the United States of America to establish reciprocal agreements under which payment of pensions can be made to old age pensioners living in that country.
Mr. B. TaylorThe United States of America has not been approached in the matter, but if it were found that a substantial number of people would benefit from such an agreement, my right hon. Friend would be glad to make proposals to the United States authorities. Priority must be given, however, to the negotiations already in progress with a number of other countries.
