HC Deb 22 March 1965 vol 709 c4W
30. Mr. Mikardo

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance if she is aware that about 150,000 British families, including half a million children, are living on an income below the minimum level which is required by National Assistance standards to maintain subsistence; and what steps she is taking to prevent these children from suffering from malnutrition.

Miss Herbison

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave on 8th March to my hon. Friend the Member for Oldham, East (Mr. Mapp).
