HC Deb 16 May 1972 vol 837 c68W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what his estimate is of the increase in the individual retirement pension for both single persons and married couples on the basis of allocating a further £1,000 million for this purpose.

Mr. Dean

The estimate is £2.70 single and £4.40 married on the assumption that there were no increases in other national insurance benefit or supplementary benefit.
