HC Deb 17 November 1919 vol 121 cc616-7
55. Mr. SWAN

asked the Prime Minister if he will consider amending the Old, Age Pension Act so as to provide that no old age pensioner shall suffer any reduction in pension owing to his or her being in receipt of a pension due to the loss of a son whilst on active service, where the receipt of the pension brings the total income above the conditional scale of old age pension?

Mr. BALDWIN (Joint Financial Secretary to the Treasury)

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Monmouth on Wednesday last.
