HC Deb 03 August 1916 vol 85 c491
60. Mr. WING

asked the Prime Minister when the new terms to old age pensioners will be issued to the House of Commons?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I presume that my hon. Friend is alluding to certain administrative measures which the Government has from time to time taken in connection with old age pensioners. I hope to have a statement of what these measures are circulated next week.

86. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked what instructions have been issued to old age pension officers to put into practice the policy of the Government to encourage old age pensioners to undertake work without their earnings being taken account of so as to reduce their pensions?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave on the 31st July, in answer to a similar question by the hon. Member for the Louth Division. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.

Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

Has any definition of these instructions been issued?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave earlier.
