HC Deb 07 February 1911 vol 21 c249W
Mr. STEWART

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he will say why John Craven Dixon, of the Borough of Wallasey, has been refused an old age pension; and whether he fails to qualify because he resided for a period in the Isle of Man?

Mr. BURNS

The Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom, and the claimant, who had had his residence during twelve of the last twenty years in that island, fails to satisfy the condition in Section 2 (2) of the Old Age Pensions Act, 1908, and is consequently not qualified for a pension.
