HC Deb 18 June 1974 vol 875 c81W
28. Dr. Winstanley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in the light of current prices, she will adjust the allowance of 15p made for meals in calculations of expenses made in connection with the application of the earnings rule to retirement pensioners.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

We have no proposals in this sense. Those pensioners who are affected by the earnings rule will benefit from the substantial relaxations in the earnings limits which will become operative next month.
