HC Deb 28 February 1956 vol 549 c114W
Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he is aware of the widespread disappointment that steps have not yet been taken to raise the age limit for schoolchildren for family allowances purposes; what is the cause of this delay; and when he expects to be able to take the steps foreshadowed in the Queen's Speech.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I am not yet able to say when the necessary legislation will be introduced.
