77. Mr. LEACH

asked what is the number of persons in receipt of old age pensions in the United Kingdom at the end of 1912; and how many of these persons were men?

Mr. ROBERTSON

On the last Friday in 1912 the number of persons in receipt of old age pensions was 966,008, and of that number 362,628 were men.

74. Mr. J. P. FARRELL

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if he will state the number of persons who were refused old age pensions in county Longford for the twelve months ending 31st March, 1913, distinguishing between those refused on the ground of age and those refused on the ground of means?

Mr. ROBERTSON

I fear this information is not available.
