HC Deb 17 October 1940 vol 365 c848W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Heath whether he has now issued instructions that supplementary pensions to old age pensioners shall continue to be paid if and when the circumstances of the pensioner changes by reason of evacuation?

Mr. M. MacDonald

The Assistance Board inform me that in view of the many changes that occur in the circumstances of old age pensioners as the result of evacuation, some of which may have the effect of increasing and others of reducing their need of assistance, it would not be practicable or in the interests of the pensioners themselves to issue an instruction on the lines suggested.

Forward to
