§ Mr. HUNTasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that many of the aged poor are in a state of anxiety as to whether their old age pensions will be stopped, he could see his way to having conspicuous notices posted up in all places where old age pensions are payable, to the effect that such pensions are just as much a charge on the revenue of the country as are pensions paid to soldiers and sailors?
§ Mr. BUXTONIt would not fall to the Post Office to issue such a notice as that to which the Hon. Member refers.
§ Mr. HUNTMay I ask why the Government refuse to take a cheap and easy means of relieving the anxiety of the aged poor?
§ Mr. LESLIE RENTONMay I ask if it is a fact that there are already notices displayed in all offices that the State guarantees the Public Trustee, and whether that cannot be done in this case?
§ Mr. BUXTONIt does not seem to be necessary.
§ Mr. RENTONNot in view of the reign of terror that exists?
