§ 59. Major BIRCHALLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the advisability of funding service pensions and, out of the money so saved, making provision for the removal of the income limit on Old Age Pensions?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe answer is in the negative. It would obviously be improper to meet a permanent increase in Old Age Pensions by a temporary expedient of the kind suggested.
§ Mr. J. JONESIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that various local organisation are supplying their members with houses, and is he prepared to admit that these houses shall not be reckoned against the old age pensioners' allowances?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member had better put that question down on the Paper.
