HC Deb 13 May 1908 vol 188 cc1132-3
MR. LEVERTON HARRIS (Tower Hamlets, Stepney)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether a person who is in receipt of an annuity or pension from a friendly society or insurance company, which will bring up his total income to over £26 a year, will be excluded from participating in the proposed scheme of old-age pensions.

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE

Yes, sir.

MR. SOARES (Devonshire, Barnstaple)

Will the Old-Age Pension Bill be introduced before Whitsuntide?

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE

That Question should be addressed to the Prime Minister.
