§ MR. STRACHEY (Somerset, S.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, owing to the failure of the Old Age Pensions Committee to recommend any scheme for old age pensions, he will give a day to discuss the Old Age Pensions (Friendly Societies) Bill, or other Old Age Pensions Bills now on the Order Paper?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.Even if there were time at this period of the Session to debate the subject, I do not think anything would be gained to the cause the honourable Gentleman has at heart by discussing the Second Reading of the Old Ace Pensions Bill.
