HC Deb 15 September 1931 vol 256 c658
29. Mr. PERRY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the declared policy of the Government to secure equality of sacrifice, it is proposed to reduce the amounts paid to the present recipient of the Earl Nelson pension and other similar payments?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

I am inquiring into this matter.

Mr. PERRY

Has the amount already been over £600,000, and are those responsible included among those who have surrendered their old age pensions or other pensions?

Lieut.-Colonel FREDERICK HALL

Are co-operative societies to go free, or is that matter to be taken in hand?
