HC Deb 28 November 1955 vol 546 c172W
90. Mr. Chapman

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance what steps he is taking to secure reciprocal arrangements with Canada for payment of family allowances; and what main difficulties are preventing an agreement.

Mr. Peake

In 1949, my predecessor asked the Canadian Government to consider the possibility of a reciprocal agreement on family allowances. The Canadian Government were then unable to accept that proposal, but I will raise the question again.
