HC Deb 25 February 1952 vol 496 c94W
122. Mr. J. Hall

asked the Minister of National Insurance if he is aware that men now reaching 65 years of age in some industries are made redundant and are losing the opportunity to increase their retirement pension; and if he will take steps to give them the same pension as those who retired before October, 1951.

Mr. Peake

It would not be possible to make the rates of retirement pension depend on conditions of employment in particular industries. I would, however, remind the hon. Member that the Government are at present engaged on a review of the position of pensioners generally.
