§ MR. VERNEYTo ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether applicants for pensions, duly qualified as regards age and in other respects, now in receipt of weekly wages which will terminate at the end of the current year, and who will then be without any income, are justified, under the Pension Act, in claiming full pensions as having no income.
715 (Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) In cases in which the applicant has no other means, or where his other means do not exceed £21, the Answer is in the affirmative. The claim, when made, would fall to be dealt with by the committee in accordance with Section 4 (1) (a) of the Act, with due regard to the provisions of subsection (3) of that section.
