§ 107. Mr. Willisasked the Minister of National Insurance whether any ruling has yet been given as to the meaning of retirement from employment for the purposes of qualifying for the new rate of old age pension.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsA number of decisions on individual claims for increased pensions on which important issues as to retirement arose have now been given by the Umpire. These decisions are being printed for publication and they will be available through the Vote Office as a Stationery Office publication in due course. In the meantime I am arranging for a small supply of duplicated copies of these decisions to be placed in the Library of the House.
