HC Deb 09 December 1908 vol 198 c460
SIR WALTER NUGENT (Westmeath, S.)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he is aware that pensions officers in Ireland determine the income of applications for pensions by trebling their rents; and if he can state on what grounds they do so.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE, Carnarvon Boroughs)

I may perhaps be allowed to refer the hon. Baronet to the replies which I gave on this point to Questions by the hon. Member for East Tyrone, on the 10th ultimo, and to the hon. Member for Newry on the 18th ultimo.
