HC Deb 27 November 1922 vol 159 c281
52. Mr. LUNN

asked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of the Government to abolish the office of Minister of Pensions, and when they propose that it shall come into operation?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am not yet in a position to give any answer to this question.

Mr. LUNN

If I repeat the question this day week may I have a definite answer?

The PRIME MINISTER

As the hon. Member knows, it is impossible to do anything without legislation. Nothing will be done in the present Session: so there is no hurry in the matter.
