Mr. E. J. WILLIAMS

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is prepared to amend the Widows', Orphans', and Old Age Contributory Pensions Acts so as to provide for old age and contributory pensions to be payable to wives irrespective of age, providing that the husband was eligible to receive a pension under the Acts?

Mr. W. S. MORRISON

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on the 9th December last to the hon. Member for Leigh (Mr. Tinker).
