HC Deb 12 August 1909 vol 9 c638
Mr. HAZLETON

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that Thomas Greghan, of Newtown, North Walsall, Staffordshire, has been refused an old age pension on the ground of want of proof of age; and whether, seeing that evidence is forthcoming that he was married 51 years ago, the question of granting him a pension will be reconsidered?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. C. Hobhouse)

No claimant of the name of Thomas Greghan can be traced at Newton in the Walsall district. If the hon. Member will give me additional particulars of the case further inquiry will be made.
