HC Deb 24 November 1953 vol 521 c15W
57. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why he refused to answer the letter he received from the Old Age Pensioners' Association.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

There was no such refusal. As the letter dealt with questions which are the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance, my right hon. Friend followed the proper course of sending it to him for reply. My right hon. Friend further informed the Association that he was in agreement with the Minister's answer.
