§ MR. DEVLINTo ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, under the Old Age Pensions Bill, regard will be had to the difficulty of proving age in the case of Irish applicants, and special provision made to meet this difficulty; and, in the cases of small landholders claiming the pension, whether he could 485 state on what basis their present income will be calculated.
(Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) I do not think it would be convenient to anticipate, by Answers to Questions in the House, discussion of the detailed provisions of the Bill.
