HC Deb 15 February 1965 vol 706 c166W
Mr. Pounder

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance (1) by how much the current level of 7s. 6d. a week allowance for each child of a 100 per cent. disabled Service man will be increased, in view of the recent increase granted to other classes of pensioner;

(2) by how much the current level of 10s. a week allowance for the wife of a 100 per cent. disabled Service man will be increased, in view of the recent increase granted to other classes of pensioner.

Mr. Harold Davies

These are obsolete allowances which have remained unchanged since 1919 and my right hon. Friend is not proposing to increase them.
