HC Deb 15 May 1980 vol 984 c550W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he intends to put all social welfare benefits on to the same basis for men and women when they reach the age of 60 years and to abolish the discrimination against men between the age of 60 years to 65 years.

Mrs. Chalker

No. Economic circumstances preclude any move towards reducing men's pension age to 60.
