§ MR. L. HASLAM (Monmouth Boroughs)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether under the Old-Age Pensions Act, a person, having received Poor Law relief during 1908 and precluded thereby from the benefits of the Act during the following year, will be precluded from its benefits during the years 1910–11 if he has not received Poor Law relief during the years 1909–10.
§ (Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) Under the law as it stands at present such a person would be disqualified until the 31st December, 1910; after that date he would be eligible for a pension.
