§ 30. Sir WALTER de FRECEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in connection with the Canadian old age pensions scheme, any request has been received from the Canadian Government that negotiations shall be entered into with a view to Great Britain advancing pensions due to British pensioners who may have emigrated to Canada?
§ Mr. AMERYThe possibility of reciprocal arrangements between the various parts of the Empire in regard to old age pension schemes was considered by the Oversea Settlement Sub-Committee of the Imperial Conference, and 1672 it is hoped shortly to address a communication to the Governments of the Dominions. No communication has been received from the Canadian Government on this subject.
