Mr. Orme

Any major change to our social security system may inevitably bring some problems and the non-contributory invalidity pension for married women is no exception in this respect. However, in general I am satisfied with the working of this particular benefit.

39. Mr. Boscawen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many disabled housewives are in receipt of the housewives' non-contributory invalidity pension.

Mr. Orme

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Eastleigh (Mr. Price) earlier today.
