I move:—
That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide for increases in the rates of pensions under the Old Age Pensions Acts, 1908 to 1957, unemployment assistance under the Unemployment Assistance Acts, 1933 to 1957, and widows (non-contributory) pensions under the Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Acts, 1935 to 1957.
It is hoped to discuss this matter on the Estimates. Perhaps we could take the Second Stage this day week? The Bill will be circulated to-morrow. It is to give effect to the announcements made in the Budget.
