MR. SHEEHAN (Cork County, Mid.)

To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether a person who spent a number of years in the United States, but who left his wife and family in Ireland, contributing in the meantime to their maintenance, and who has been for the past eight years back in his own country, is entitled to an old-age pension, all the other requirements of the Act being satisfied.

(Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) The matter is governed by Article 29 of the Old-Age Pensions Regulations, to which I may refer the hon. Member.
