Ministry Of Pensions

26.

Major COHEN
asked the Prime Minister whether he proposes to appoint an Under-Secretary to the Ministry of Pensions?

The PRIME MINISTER
Whether an Under-Secretary is necessary is now under consideration, but I am not yet able to announce a decision.

Mr. MACPHERSON
Will the right Gentleman be able to tell the House when my Amendment is reached?

The PRIME MINISTER
I do not see that my right hon. Friend's Amendment is affected by this question, but I hope to be able to answer it on Friday.
