Mr. CATHCART WASONasked the Lord Advocate if he is aware of the fact that a husband and wife who have resided in the island of Eday for 72 years have been held to be disqualified for the pension because once during the last 20 years they paid a short visit to Canada to see their relatives; and if he can state on what authority such decision rests?
§ The LORD ADVOCATEI am informed that the visit to Canada in question extended over seven years, and that in the circumstances there was no alternative, having regard to the terms of the Act and regulations, but to hold the applicants disqualified.
