§ 121. Mr. Ainsleyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to pay out, either in full, or in part periodically, post-war credits due to men or women, on the production of medical evidence that they have permanently finished work before reaching the age of 65 years.
§ Mr. H. BrookeI regret that this suggestion could not be accepted. The difficulties of repaying post-war credits earlier on special hardship grounds have often been explained to the House. A woman can already claim her post-war credit at the age of 60.
