§ Mr PEARSONasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether Wiliam Cook, of Badingham, near Framlingham, has been awarded an old age pension only from 3rd May, 1912, whereas he became eligible for it on 8th February, 1912, and sent in his application as early as November, 1911; and whether, under these circumstances, the arrears as from 8th February will be paid to him?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI am making inquiry into this case, and will communicate with the hon. Member.
