§ 50. Mr. R. C. Morrisonasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that it is difficult for many persons, and particularly applicants for old age pensions, when filling up their forms, to find a qualified person willing to witness their signature; and will he add to the present list of qualified persons, members of local authorities?
§ Mr. ElliotThe hon. Member appears to be under a misapprehension, since the present list of qualified persons does include any member of a local authority. The present list is very extensive, and an applicant for pension should ordinarily have no difficulty in securing the certification of his claim, but I should be glad to have particulars of any case which the hon. Member has in mind.
