114. Lieut.-Commander Hutchisonasked the Minister of National Insurance if he will raise the maximum limit for casual earnings, without reduction of retirement pension, from £2 to £3 in any pension week.
§ Mr. PeakeNo. The amount which a retirement pensioner can earn in any pension week without reduction of pension was raised from £1 to £2 only last July. To raise the limit still further would tend to discourage those of pension age from continuing in full time employment.
