asked Minister of Health whether the Committee that is considering the question of old age pensions is likely to report in time to enable the Government to effect reforms in the relief of the aged poor which is so urgently needed and which, if postponed till the autumn or winter, is likely to add to the anxiety and suffering of the aged poor of this country?

Colonel SANDERS
