HC Deb 21 February 1983 vol 37 c343W
Mr. Bowden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate how many retirement pensioners will gain, and how many will lose, under the changes to mortgage repayment in April as a result of the impact on their entitlement to the age allowance; how much will be saved by the Government as a result; and what will be the average monthly loss or gain.

Mr. Ridley

I shall let my hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.
