HC Deb 12 May 1969 vol 783 c152W
52. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether in his forthcoming orders increasing charges for benefits under the National Health Service, he will exempt from payment of any charges, old-age pensioners, the blind and those registered as permanently disabled.

Mr. Crossman

As I have already announced, I propose continuation of present arrangements for exemptions.—[Vol. 783, c. 43.]
