HC Deb 14 October 1908 vol 194 cc303-4
MR. STAVELEY-HILL

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the instructions issued to pension officers by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue.

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE

The instructions referred to are of a confidential

Exchequer if he can state the number of applications received up to date for old age pensions, giving the number claiming 1s., 2s., 3s., 4s., and 5s. respectively.

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

I have called for a Return on this subject, and I hope very shortly to be in possession of the total number of applications received up to date.
