§ Mr. REMNANT (for Earl Winterton)asked the right hon. Gentleman whether this attention has been drawn to the case of James Champion, a resident of Horsham, and, up to 16th March, 1910, a recipient of an old age pension, who, owing to illness and upon medical advice, went into the infirmary of the Horsham workhouse for treatment, and in consequence was notified that his pension would cease; whether he intends to support the appeal which has been made, and which was acknowledged by his Board on 24th March, against the cessation of his pension; and whether, in view of the unusual circumstances in the case, he will advise the continuance of the pension?
§ Mr. BURNSI have received the appeal referred to, and I am in communication with the board of guardians with respect to the circumstances of the pensioner's treatment in the infirmary.
