Ceist:37 Miss M. Wallace asked the Minister for Social Welfare if his attention has been drawn to the fact that where an elderly couple is in receipt of individual contributory old age pensions and where one of the spouses dies, the other will not be paid the six weeks special payments of the deceased's pension in spite of the fact that it is paid to all other pension categories; and if he will ensure that this anomaly is removed.
