HC Deb 14 June 1979 vol 968 c309W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects to receive the report from the National Insurance Advisory Committee on the housewives' non-contributory invalidity benefit.

Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects the National Insurance Advisory Committee to report on the reference to it about the regulations for entitlement to housewives' non-contributory invalidity pension.

Mr. Prentice

I understand that the committee has received a great deal of written evidence, which it is planning to supplement by oral evidence from a number of individuals and organisations. It thus seems unlikely that it will be able to report before the autumn.
