HC Deb 01 May 1911 vol 25 c172W
Mr. O'DOHERTY

asked the Chief Secretary on what grounds the full old age pension is not allowed to George M'Laughlin, Killoort, Ballygorman, Malin, county Donegal, seeing that his acreage is only six acres, a considerable portion of which is rough land, and his rent £2, and the net income of which is necessarily small; and whether he will take steps to have the full pension allowed?

Mr. BIRRELL

George Mlaughlin's claim was disallowed by the Local Government Board on appeal in April, 1910, as he was then under the statutory age. He has now attained the requisite age, and it is open to him to make a fresh claim.
