§ 1. Mr. ALFRED LAWasked the Minister of Pensions if he is aware that undue hardship is being caused to many pensioners in the county borough of Rochdale owing to the delay of two months and more in the payment of their pensions, and that in most of these cases several letters of complaint have been addressed to him from Rochdale, which have, however, been entirely ignored by his Department; and will he therefore cause inquiries to be made with the view to expediting the matter and so relieve the Rochdale War Pensions Committee of much unnecessary expense and annoyance?
§ The MINISTER of PENSIONS (Mr. Macpherson)I have no information as to the cases complained of, but I have caused inquiry to be made and immediate action taken wherever possible.
