§ 50. Mr. Gallacherasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has considered a resolution sent from a mass meeting of Dundee citizens urging consideration of the demand of the Old Age Pensioners Association for increased pensions; and what steps does he propose to take to meet this demand?
§ Sir J. SimonI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on 2nd February to a similar question by the hon. Member for Consett (Mr. David Adams).
§ Mr. GallacherMay I ask the Chancellor whether there is any intention on the part of the Government of doing justice to these old folk, in connection with the question of increased pensions? May I further ask him how it is possible for Ministers who are drawing £100 a week to give this most deserving section of the community 10s. a week? It is a scandal.
