HC Deb 03 July 1967 vol 749 c178W
75. Mr. John Lee

asked the Minister of Social Security if she will seek to provide an age allowance to war disabled pensioners of 65 years and above in cases where the disablement is assessed at 40 per cent. or less in the same way as an allowance is now paid to those pensioners whose disability is 40 per cent. or more.

Mr. Loughlin

No. To extend the present allowance in this way would be inconsistent with its purpose.
