HC Deb 06 October 1909 vol 11 cc1997-8
Mr. LUNDON

asked the Chief Secretary if he would state on what grounds the Local Government Board overruled the old age pension committee at Kilfinane, county Limerick, on their granting to Mrs. Bridget Roche the pension which they considered her justly entitled to under the Act?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Local Government Board upheld the appeal of the pension officer in this case as Mrs. Roche's name appeared in the out-door relief register as dependent upon her husband, who was in receipt of out-door relief.
