HC Deb 20 February 1956 vol 549 c6W
72. Mr. Parkin

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he is aware that old-age pensioners who take an occasional week's employment from Monday to Saturday are liable to lose two weeks' pension on the grounds that pension week is from Thursday to Wednesday; and whether he will take steps to correct this anomaly.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

As I am explaining in my reply to the letter which the hon. Member was good enough to send me last Thursday, this matter is within the scope of the review of the earnings rules on which the National Insurance Advisory Committee is now engaged.
