HC Deb 06 December 1945 vol 416 c2693W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of National Insurance what would be the cost of giving an extra 10s., for this first Christmas after the end of the war, to old age pensioners and widows in receipt of pensions; and if he will do this.

Mr. J. Griffiths

The cost would be of the order of £2,250,000; with regard to the second part, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Ince (Mr. T. Brown) on 6th November last.
