HC Deb 28 November 1960 vol 631 c2W
Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he will give instructions that, in correspondence with Members of Parliament about individual pensions cases, Members shall, with their constituents' consent, be supplied with complete and accurate copies of medical reports instead of with summaries.

Members with any information which they require, and is giving consideration to the question as to how this can best be done.
