BUTCHERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider 1561W the advisability of passing, at the earliest possible opportunity consistent with the financial position of the country, a Bill for giving effect to the recommendations of the Minority Report of the Committee on Old Age Pensions for increasing the means limit for old age pensioners?
