HC Deb 29 May 1951 vol 488 cc7-8W
76. Miss Hornsby-Smith

asked the Minister of National Insurance what approaches have been made to the United States of America to establish reciprocal agreements under which payment of pensions can be made to old age pensioners living in that country.

Mr. B. Taylor

The United States of America has not been approached in the matter, but if it were found that a substantial number of people would benefit from such an agreement, my right hon. Friend would be glad to make proposals to the United States authorities. Priority must be given, however, to the negotiations already in progress with a number of other countries.
