ARGUMENT.—Under the national insurance scheme, which applies to the whole of the United Kingdom, a weekly pension of 10/- is payable, not only to an insured man when he reaches the age of 65, but also to his wife provided she has attained the age of 60. These pensions are payable up to 70, and thereafter are continued as old age pensions. In 1940 new legislation was passed to enable old age pensions to be supplemented in cases of need, by the Assistance Board.
