HC Deb 27 October 1908 vol 195 c79
MR. WALROND (Devonshire, Tiverton)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether a person otherwise qualified, who has been in receipt of poor relief within twelve months prior to 1st January, 1909, is eligible for receipt of a pension if the amount of the poor relief received by him has been refunded before that date.

MR. JOHN BURNS

Perhaps I may be allowed to answer this Question. It is one which, with some others involving legal considerations, is at present under consideration, so that I am not at the moment in a position to give a definite reply to it.
