HC Deb 25 April 1950 vol 474 cc89-90W
96. Mr. Robson-Brown

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the useful work done by old age pensioners' clubs throughout the country; and if he will consider steps to enable him to make grant in aid to encourage their work.

Mr. Blenkinsop

I am aware of the useful work which is done. Local authorities have power under the National Assistance Act to contribute to the funds of voluntary bodies providing recreation for old people.
