§ 78. Mr. Browneasked the Minister of National Insurance whether she will make the necessary arrangements for the National Assistance Board to have discretionary powers to provide a free wireless licence in cases where one or two retirement pensioners are living alone and in receipt of assistance; and what would be the estimated cost of this concession.
§ Dr. SummerskillI cannot agree that this is a need for which special provision ought to be made over and above the normal weekly allowance. Information on which to estimate the cost is not available.
