Mr. Gwilym Roberts
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will introduce a 10-year programme to be completed by 1985 for the reduction of the pensionable age of men to 60, reducing the pensionable age by one year at intervals of two years; and if she will make a statement.
Mr. O'Malley
