HC Deb 25 June 1925 vol 185 c1704
33. Mr. GROVES

asked the Minister of Health if he can present statistics to the House showing the total number of fresh claims to pensions granted and a summary of the various increases of pensions granted under the application of the 1924 amendment to the Old Age Pension Act?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Guinness)

As the answer involves a number of figures, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate the information in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the answer:

Mr. BECKETT

Can the right hon. Gentleman give us any idea how much of that sum has been transferred to his Ministry from the Ministry of Labour?

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member should put that question down.
