HC Deb 02 July 1940 vol 362 cc688-9W
Major Procter

asked the Minister of Health whether, when assessing means for the purpose of supplementary pensions, money invested in national savings certificates, defence bonds, subscriptions to war loans, etc., are to be left out of account up to a limit of £375, or to be taken into account and, in the latter case, what is the exact procedure to be followed?

Miss Horsbrugh

Pending the introduction of the legislation which will be necessary to give effect to the undertaking given by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer with regard to the treatment of war savings, I regret that I cannot make any statement on the matter.
