HC Deb 27 October 1952 vol 505 c160W
53. Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of National Insurance whether he is aware of the hardship being caused to widows and others in receipt of a 10s. pension by the fact that there has been no increase in this pension notwithstanding the increase in the cost of living; and what steps he proposes to take to remedy the matter.

Mr. Peake

I would refer the hon. Member to the very full discussion of this point on 15th May last in Committee on the recent National Insurance Bill. I see no reason for departing from the Committee's decision on it.
