HC Deb 25 June 1951 vol 489 c109W
100. M. Janner

asked the Minister of National Insurance how many applications for retirement pensions have been refused since the National Insurance Act was passed on the grounds that sufficient contributions had not been paid during the last year of insurance; and in how many cases more than 10 years' insurance had previously been paid.

Mr. B. Taylor

Failure to pay contributions for one year only would not by itself constitute a ground for disallowance of a claim for a retirement pension. If my hon. Friend has a special case in mind perhaps he will let me have details.
