§ 77. Mr. Windsorasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will consider reducing the charges of 3s. 7d. for a duplicate birth certificate and 2s. 7d. 1260 for a marriage certificate which certain old age pensioners find great difficulty in paying when making claims in respect of sons lost while serving at sea?
§ Captain CrookshankI am informed that in cases where applicants for pension are not already in possession of the appropriate birth or marriage certificates, the production of the certificates is in practice waived.
