§ Mr. de Ferrantiasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance how much it would cost the National Insurance Fund if the conditions governing the payment of further increments to married women who attain the age of 60 years after their husband's retirement was to be altered so as to enable them to benefit from any increased pension their busbands may have earned by continuing work after the age of 65 years.
§ Miss Hornsby-SmithIf what my hon. Friend has in mind is that married men deferring retirement beyond age 65 would be able to earn increments for their wives whatever their ages, the cost would grow ultimately to about £6 million a year.
