§ Mr. CHARLES DUNCAN (for Mr. Parker)asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is yet able to give a decision in regard to the appeals from the inmates of some almshouses in Faversham whose old age pensions have, by decision of the local committee, to be reduced from 3s. to 2s. weekly; and whether he is aware that these old people have received no pensions at all since 17th June?
§ Mr. HERBERT LEWISI am in communication with the pension officer with regard to these cases, and I hope to be in a position to decide the appeals at an early date.
