HC Deb 18 January 1982 vol 16 c58W
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what would be the savings in 1981–82 if the pension age for women were 65 years, including the abolition of the wife's dependency addition for men aged 65 years and over, but taking into account increased expenditure on supplementary pensions for couples where there is no income other than the husband's retirement pension.

Mr. Rossi

An estimate is in the course of preparation which I shall publish in theOfficial Report when it is available.
