HC Deb 14 February 1929 vol 225 c550
69. Mr. JAMES HUDSON

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what is the total amount paid as pensions to ex-Lord Chancellors from 1st April, 1928, up to date?

Mr. SAMUEL

£9,157 15s. 2d.

Mr. HUDSON

Was any part of that sum paid direct to a hospital trust, in the way provided for by Lord Birkenhead?

Mr. SAMUEL

The question put to me was as to the total amount. I must ask for notice if the hon. Member requires further particulars.

Mr. TAYLOR

Is there any condition in connection with these payments that the applicant must be genuinely seeking work?
