Mr. CATHCART WASONasked the Lord Advocate if he is aware of the fact that several pensioners in the island of Eday, Orkney, have not yet received any pension, although their claims date, in some cases, from 1st and 20th January; and if he will state the cause of delay, and why two appeals in the same island 466W have not yet been dealt with by the Local Government Board?
§ The LORD ADVOCATEI have made inquiry, but in the absence of particulars, the Local Government Board are unable to identify the claimants referred to by my hon. Friend. The two appeals from Eday have been decided.
