§ MR. J. MACVEAGH (Down, S.)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that in Ireland the outdoor relief report book sets out not only the name of the person applying for relief but also the names of all the family; and whether it will be made clear to pension officers that no person will be disqualified for old-age pensions 258 except the person actually receiving outdoor relief.
(Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) Every care will be taken that the precise facts of each case are brought to the notice of the pension Committee; but the question whether the facts in any particular case are such as to create a disqualification is not one for the pension officer, but for the committee to decide subject to appeal to the Local Government Board.
