HC Deb 14 November 1918 vol 110 c2872
60. Mr. BYRNE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has yet decided to appoint a Committee to consider the advisability of increasing the weekly payments to old age pensioners?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. BYRNE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware of the urgency and importance of this matter, and that any proposal which he would make in the direction indicated in the question would have the whole-hearted support of the House?
