asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will issue a further supplementary pension book to include the Budget increase to a person (details supplied) in County Meath.

The supplementary pension book providing for the budget increase in the rate of invalidity pension was issued to the designated post office on 23 April 1980 for collection by the person concerned. It has been ascertained by my Department that it was received in the post office and has since been collected by him.
