§ 70. Major E. WOODasked whether, in considering an application for an old age pension, receipts in kind are included in the estimate of the applicant's means; and whether an applicant, having no actual means but being maintained by others, is eligible for a pension?
§ Mr. BALDWIN (Joint Financial Secretary to the Treasury)The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; the answer to the second part would depend on the conditions of the particular case.
§ Major WOODIf I bring a particular case to the notice of my hon. Friend will he hold out any hope of a sympathetic reply?
