HC Deb 21 June 1989 vol 155 c167W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received asking him to extend the proposed tax relief on insurance cover for the private health needs of over 65-year-olds to support elderly people living in their own homes purchasing supported lifelines to connect them with back-up facilities; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeman

I am not aware of any such representations, which would be for my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer to consider.
