HC Deb 03 November 1958 vol 594 c11W
23. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance if he is aware of the difficulties of old-age pensioners owing to the high costs of food, clothing and housing; and what immediate steps he plans to ameliorate their condition.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I would refer the hon. and learned Member to what I said on this subject last Wednesday during the debate on the Address, to which I have nothing to add.
