Old-Age Pensions and Poor Relief.

HC Deb 23 November 1908 vol 196 cc1782-3

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

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether an applicant for an old-age pension will be held to be disqualified owing to the receipt of poor relief which has been wholly repaid to the guardians on his behalf.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. JOHN BURNS,) Battersea

I am advised that the Answer to the Question is in the affirmative.
