§ MR. STAVELEY-HILL (Staffordshire, Kingswinford)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can state the number and percentage of applications received in Ireland for old-age pensions from persons occupying land, distinguishing between the cases of the occupying tenants and occupying owners.
§ SIR CLEMENT HILLTo ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer how many persons owning or occupying holdings of two acres or more have applied for and qualified for old-age pensions.
(Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) I may perhaps be allowed to take these two Questions together. I am not in possession of the information for which the hon. Members ask; and, in view of the pressure of the old-age pensions work, I do not feel justified in requiring the pension officers to obtain it at the present time.
