HC Deb 27 July 1949 vol 467 cc146-7W
92. Mr. H. D. Hughes

asked the Minister of National Insurance what he estimates would be the cost of raising the limit of casual weekly earnings from 30s. to 45s. for widows and from 20s. to 30s. for women drawing retirement pension, respectively.

Mr. Steele

I regret that the necessary statistics on which to base any reliable estimate of the cost of this proposal are not available.
