HC Deb 01 February 1951 vol 483 cc140-1W
104. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of National Insurance, in view of the necessity for increased manpower and the steady improvement in general health and mortality rates of the nation, she will raise the limit for those who wish to continue working after reaching pensionable age and increase the maximum of £1 or the amount allowed to be earned without loss of pension.

Mr. B. Taylor

The reasons for the earnings rule to which my hon. Friend refers were explained in the answer given to the hon. Members for Wycombe (Mr. Haire) and Edinburgh, West (Lieut.-Commander Hutchison) on 5th December, of which I am sending him a copy. My right hon. Friend will, however, bear the point in mind in connection with any review of the scheme.
