HC Deb 05 December 1955 vol 547 cc17-8W
80. Mr. Alport

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance what advice he has received from his Advisory Committee with regard to the limit of small income exception and the problem of credits and liability for contributions by persons of small income.

Mr. Peake

The Committee's Report on the liability for contributions of persons with small incomes was laid before the House last April, and its recommendations, which included a raising of the income limit for exception, have since been embodied in legislation. The Committee is still engaged on its review of the general provisions relating to credits.
