Orders of the Day — National Insurance Bill (26 Apr 1951)

Major Lyall Wilkes: I was interested in the contention of the hon. Member for Stretford (Mr. Storey) that we had not applied the money which will go to increasing the basic pension in the most economical way so as to meet the greatest need. It is based upon the supposition that although only 600,000 old age pensioners draw a supplementary pension, those who do not draw it—the vast majority of the...

Clause 2. — (Widows' Benefit.) ( 9 May 1951)

Major Lyall Wilkes: I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Flint, East (Mrs. White) for moving this Amendment and for inserting in it in concrete terms a suggestion which I made on Second Reading.
