HC Deb 13 December 1965 vol 722 c196W
Mr. Pounder

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance why the allowance of 7s. 6d. per week for each child of a 100 per cent. disabled Service man, and the allowance of 10s. per week for the wife of a 100 per cent. disabled Service man have remained unchanged since 1919; and what plans she has to bring these allowances into line with contemporary levels.

Mr. Harold Davies

These allowances are obsolete and my right hon. Friend has no plans to increase them.
