§ Mr. HOGGEasked the Pensions Minister when he will be in a position to state whether the dependants of apprentices are to have their allowances placed upon the same basis; and whether such basis should be the wage-earning capacity of the lad at the time when application is made by the mother or other dependant for increased allowance and not simply hardship?
§ Mr. BARNESI am taking steps in the direction desired and will write to my hon. Friend when a decision is reached.
