Charitable Pensions and Old-Age Pensions.

HC Deb 18 November 1908 vol 196 c1213

MR. LANE-FOX (Yorkshire, W.R., Barkston Ash)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether pension officers are authorised to reckon charitable pensions which are voluntary, and have not been a condition of the applicant's previous service, as part of his income disqualifying for a pension.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE,) Carnarvon Boroughs

Pension officers have been instructed to treat in their reports to the Pension Committee such sources of income as forming part of the means of the claimant for the purpose of the Old-Age Pensions Act.
