Mr. HOGGEasked the Prime Minister (1) whether he will ask the Paymaster-General to make a special Report to the House after the Recess of the administration of pensions by the Chelsea Commissioners; and (2) whether, with a view to giving the House of Commons more direct control over the administration of pensions by Chelsea, he can arrange for the Paymaster-General to answer questions in the House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThere are certain administrative difficulties in the way of adopting my hon. Friend's suggestion, but I will see if it is possible to overcome them.
