§ MR. SNOWDENTo ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if a man who, on account of poverty, has had his poor rate remitted is thereby disqualified for an old-age pension.
(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) Perhaps I may answer this Question. The excusal of the payment of rates on the ground of poverty, would not, I think, disqualify the person excused for receiving an old-age pension.
