§ MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury what is the total amount annually paid from public sources in the United Kingdom for pensions and superannuation allowances, distinguishing between payments by or on behalf of the various Departments of the Government and payments by Local Authorities, and the estimated number of persons so pensioned?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. A. MORLEY,) Nottingham, E.I have no information as to the amount paid for pensions by Local Authorities. As regards pensions paid from Public Funds, I may say that a Return ordered on a Return of the hon. Member for the Leigh Division of South-West Lancashire is now in preparation, which will give complete information on the subject.
