§ Mr. CLYNESasked, with regard to Civil List pensions, whether any consideration is given to the position of persons who have devoted long years of service entirely to social welfare or working-class betterment; if so, whether the right hon. Gentleman can state the number of cases; and whether the case of their survivors who are in need of help will be dealt with under the Civil List Act?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEWhere such services can be shown to come within the scope of the Civil List Acts, claims based thereon—including those of relatives—are given full consideration. As an instance, the hon. Member will see, if he refers to the Return of Civil Pensions issued a few days ago, that one such pension was awarded last year.
§ Mr. CLYNESCan the right hon. Gentleman give any other instance?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEindicated a negative reply.
