§ Sir A. SHIRLEY BENNasked the Prime Minister whether he will take steps to relieve the hardship imposed on many of the old servants of the country who retired on pensions presumed to be sufficient to enable them in their old age to pro/vide the necessaries of life, but who now find themselves, when too old to work, unable to pay the cost of living owing to the abnormal prices produced by the War; and whether he will appoint a Committee with instructions to investigate the whole matter and with power, in urgent cases to act promptly?
§ Mr. BALDWINI have nothing to add to the answers given by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer 927W and by myself in this House on many occasions during the current Session to similar questions.
