HC Deb 29 October 1918 vol 110 c1282
50. Mr. BYRNE

asked the Prime Minister if he will give the House an opportunity of expressing their views on the desirability of increasing the old age pensions?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am not prepared to give the facilities asked for in the question.

Mr. FRANCE

Is the right hon. Gentleman prepared to give the facilities asked if he is assured that there is a strong feeling in all parts of the House that this whole question of old age pensions come under review?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Yes, I do not doubt the feeling; but I think there are parts of the problem that ought to be investigated, and I promised to consider the setting up of a Committee on the subject.
