HC Deb 15 December 1967 vol 756 cc265-6W
Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Minister of Social Security what would be the cost to public funds of increasing war disability and war widows' pensions so as to compensate war pensioners living overseas for the reduction in their purchasing power resulting from the devaluation of the £ sterling.

Mrs. Hart

It is estimated that, if it were possible to confine this to war pensioners, the cost would be about £¾ million a year.
