HC Deb 03 July 1967 vol 749 c178W
74. Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Minister of Social Security if she will seek to increase the rates of supplementary pensions so that retirement pensioners at present receiving supplementary pensions get the full benefit of the proposed increase in retirement pensions.

Miss Herbison

No. The proposed supplementary pension increases, added to those which these pensioners received last November, will give them broadly the same improvement as other pensioners will have had since March, 1965.
