HC Deb 10 October 1916 vol 86 c14
20. Mr. BROOKES

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government has taken into consideration the question of the establishment of one pension authority for the entire country; whether he is aware of the strength of the demand among the public for such a body; and whether he will state the nature of the objections, if such exist, to the suggested innovation?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Bonar Law)

The question of the establishment of one pensions authority for the United Kingdom has received attention, and it is hoped that a statement may be made shortly as to the intention of the Government.
