HC Deb 13 November 1929 vol 231 c2041
94. Mr. HORRABIN

asked the Minister of Health if he has received any complaints of sub-postmasters, who are also shopkeepers, bringing undue pressure to bear on old age pensioners to purchase articles when drawing their pension money; and, if so, whether he will take some action in the matter?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Miss Lawrence)

My right hon. Friend has not received any complaints of the nature mentioned by my hon. Friend.

Mr. BLINDELL

May I ask whether it will be the policy of the hon. Lady's Department to discourage such questions as this with its nasty imputation against small shopkeepers and sub-postmasters?
