§ 59. Sir JOHN BUTCHERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will introduce legislation for the purpose of extending to applicants for old age pensions the concessions to existing old age pensioners which are embodied in the administrative order, Cd. 8340?
§ Mr. BALDWINIt has been frequently stated His Majesty's Government is not prepared in present conditions to introduce legislation for the alteration of the Old Age Pension Acts.
§ Sir J. BUTCHERIs it not right that applicants for old age pensions should not be put in a worse position—
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat is a matter for argument.
