HC Deb 09 May 1939 vol 347 c293
62. Mr. Mathers

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the number of persons in Scotland in receipt of old age pensions under the Old Age Pensions' Acts and the Widows', Orphans' and Old Age Contributory Pensions Acts?

Mr. Colville

The number of persons in Scotland in receipt of pensions under the Acts referred to at 31st March last was 279,054.

Mr. Mathers

Can the right hon. Gentleman give the figures separately?

Mr. Colville

Yes, Sir, but I thought the hon. Gentleman was referring to the totals. I will send him the figures split up between the different Acts.
