HC Deb 29 July 1947 vol 441 c28W
58. Mr. Sparks

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he will increase the amount to be ignored when calculating the profits derived from lodgers in assessing the means of claimants for old age pensions, so as to give due regard to the present-day high cost of living.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

The amount taken into account is a matter for the local pension committee.
