§ MR. SNOWDEN (Blackburn)To ask the President of the Local Government Board if he is now able to give an answer to the question as to whether an Army or other pensioner who receives weekly advances from the guardians between his quarterly pension days, such advances being deducted from his pension, is eligible for an old-age pension.
(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) I am advised that such a person would not be eligible for an old-age pension.
