HC Deb 24 June 1898 vol 60 c39
COLONEL SIR H. VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can inform the House what progress the Royal Commission upon the best way of granting old age pensions to deserving members of the working masses is making, and when its Report may be expected?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

I understand that the Report to which my honourable Friend refers is now in the hands of the printers. It has been presented in dummy to the House, as my honourable Friend is probably aware.
