HC Deb 27 March 1912 vol 36 cc429-30
Mr. HOGGE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will make arrangements, in the case of old people applying for their old age pensions, to enable them to secure copies of their birth certificates either free or for 6d., as in the case of applicants to approved societies under the Insurance Act?

Mr. MASTERMAN

An applicant for an old age pension can already have par- ticulars of birth verified free of charge, if they are forwarded through the pension officer to the Registrar-General.
