Old Age Pensions (Ireland).

HC Deb 19 May 1909 vol 5 cc532-3W

Mr. KETTLE

asked the Chief Secretary whether he will grant the Returns standing on the Paper in the name of the hon. Member for East Tyrone [relating to old age pensions. Ireland]?

Mr. BIRRELL

I regret that I am unable to grant the Returns asked for by the hon. Member, as the Local Government Board are not in a position to furnish the required information. Neither the register which the pension committees are directed to keep by the Old Age Pension Regulations nor the Board's own register give these minute particulars.
