§ Mrs. Chalkerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will give special assistance to widows and single women retiring at 60 years of age.
§ Mr. O'MalleyI am not clear what the hon. Lady has in mind. If she is concerned that they do not benefit from the income tax age allowance until they 557W reach the age of 65, this is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. If the point is a different one perhaps the hon. Lady would let me know.
