§ Miss HerbisonMy Department has already co-operated in this matter. A card about local authority and welfare services can be sent with the notice of award of pension at the request of the local authority or the local old people's welfare committee with the agreement of the local authority. This is a matter on which I have received a number of representations and I am writing to the hon. Member.
