HC Deb 14 March 1972 vol 833 c61W
74. Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many requests for commutation of pension rights into a capital lump sum have been received by his Department or its relevant predecessors each year since 1945.

Mr. Dean

This information is not available. The number will however have been small, since it is generally known that social security benefits and war pensions cannot be commuted.
