HC Deb 05 July 1979 vol 969 cc725-6W
Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects to receive the report of the national insurance advisory committee on noncontributory invalidity pension for married women.

Mr. Prentice

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the right hon. Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe (Mr. Morris) and the hon. Member for Birkenhead (Mr. Field) on 14 June.—[Vol. 968, c.309.]

Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether, in accordance with the willingness of his predecessor to place in the Library copies of departmental submissions to the national insurance advisory committee in connection with their consideration of the non-contributory invalidity pension for married women, he will now make the documents available.

Mr. Prentice

Three submissions have already been placed in the Library. With the committee chairman's agreement, others will be deposited as they are submitted to the committee.
