HC Deb 18 July 1940 vol 363 cc410-1W
Mr. Leach

asked the Minister of Health whether he is now able to make clear to the recipients of supplementary old age pensions that no account will be taken in their assessment of income from national savings certificates, Post Office Savings Bank, etc., up to an investment value of £375?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I would refer to the reply which was given to a similar Question by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Accrington (Major Procter) on 2nd July. I understand that it is hoped that the legislation which will be necessary to deal with this matter will be introduced at an early date.
