MR. LLOYD MORGAN (Carmarthenshire, W.)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has issued, or proposes to issue, regulations or instructions which would assist claimants to pensions or trustees of charitable funds with respect to the cases in which, and the extent to which, the receipt of a pension from a charitable fund would disqualify for a pension under the Act; if not, how is it contemplated to deal with the difficulties arising in such cases.
(Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George) No, Sir. The case of such allowances seems to me to be entirely governed by the provisions of Section 4 (1) (a) of the Act, and there would appear to be no reason for differentiating a pension received from such sources from other money income. The question whether any particular allowance is one which a claimant may "reasonably expect to receive during the succeeding year" is one to be determined upon the facts in each case by the pension committee.
