HC Deb 12 August 1966 vol 733 cc478-80W
Mr. Clegg

asked the Minister of Social Security what representations she has received from war-disabled pensioners to restore the traditional disregard of their pensions in connection with the rate rebate scheme; and if she will make a statement.

Miss Herbison

I have no record of representations on this subject from individual pensioners since the small number of letters I have received have been referred to my right hon. Friend, the Minister of Housing and Local Government. While not accepting the hon. Member's statement of the point at issue, I would refer him to my replies of 8th August to the hon. Members for Essex, South-East (Mr. Braine) and Liverpool. Wavertree (Mr. Tilney).
