HC Deb 06 March 1984 vol 55 c564W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why all pensioners who require a card certifying that they are retirement pensioners are not issued with them; if, in view of the risks of theft involved if pensioners carry their pension books with them for identification purposes, he will now arrange for the issue of such cards; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Boyson

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Brighton, Kemptown (Mr. Bowden) on 21 November 1983, at column66.
