HC Deb 13 November 1973 vol 864 c104W
54. Mr. Arthur Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now raise the age limit for exemption from prescription charges from 15 to 16 years of age in view of the raising of the school leaving age to 16 years.

Mr. Alison

No, Sir. No relationship is intended between the age limit for automatic exemption from prescription charges and the age of ending full-time education.
