23. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Prime Minister when it is proposed to introduce legislation dealing with old age pensions?

The PRIME MINISTER

As soon as the details of this Bill have been finally settled it will be introduced at the first opportunity.

Sir K. WOOD

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any approximate date when this long-delayed Measure will be brought forward?

Major HORE-BELISHA

Will the right hon. Gentleman undertake to make any concession retrospective in regard to old age pensions?

The PRIME MINISTER

Perhaps the House will wait for the introduction of the Bill before we give any details.
