HC Deb 12 February 1924 vol 169 c736
41. Mr. RATHBONE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will at an early date introduce a Bill to amend the Old Age Pensions Act by abolishing the thrift disqualification?

45. Mr. RAFFAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is proposed to introduce early legislation for the purpose of amending the Old Age Pensions Act so as to carry out the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on Old Age Pensions, 1919, and especially to secure the abolition of the present means limit, which imposes an unfair discrimination against the thrifty and deserving?

Mr. SNOWDEN

I would ask the hon. Members to await the statement which the Prime Minister is making this afternoon.
