HC Deb 05 February 1951 vol 483 c157W
18. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of National Insurance what answer she has sent to the National Association of Old Age Pensioners in response to their recent demand for a pension of 40s. a week.

Dr. Summerskill

I received a deputation from this body last week and heard their representations. I made it clear to them that their claims would have to be looked at as part of the country's economic position as a whole.
