HC Deb 01 May 1935 vol 301 c363
30. Mr. G. MACDONALD

asked the Minister of Health the total amount of the funds under the Widows', Orphans', and Old Age Contributory Pensions Acts in hand at 31st March, 1935?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

The amount was approximately £22,500,000.

Mr. PIKE

Does my hon. Friend consider that that amount of money justifies a Money Bill to allow small supplementations during Jubilee Week?
