HC Deb 11 December 1979 vol 975 c581W
24. Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what estimates his Department has made of the costs of introducing flexible retirement dates.

Mr. Prentice

The cost of introducing flexible retirement would depend on what method was adopted. The White Paper which the Government hope to publish next year, setting out their general strategy in relation to elderly people, will refer to flexible retirement.
