HC Deb 16 June 1959 vol 607 c32W
79. Mr. H. Wilson

asked the Minister of Health what representations he has received about his failure to propose any change in respect of the individual prescriptions charge.

Mr. Walker-Smith

Representations that the charges should be abolished have been received in the last year from five organisations, and several retired persons' organisations have represented that old age pensioners should be exempt. Some representations on both matters have also been received from individuals.
