HC Deb 10 December 1908 vol 198 c751
MR. CLYNES

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, in such cases as the following, the persons would be disqualified for an old-age pension; one who received parish relief for a few weeks during which the superannuation pay from his trade society was suspended through depression in trade, one who, without requesting it, received three days hospital treatment at parish expense, and one who had parish relief afterwards repaid to the guardians by the children of the receiver.

MR. JOHN BURNS

In the first and third of the cases referred to, the claimant would appear to be disqualified. The second case would probably come within the proviso to Section 3 (1) of the Old-Age Pensions Act, and if so the claimant would not be disqualified.
