§ Mr. W. THORNEasked the Minister of Health the number of wives of insured old age pensioners who at 65 are receiving a pension under the new Act?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe information asked for is not yet available. At present only the total number of pensions awarded is known, but, as soon as the present abnormal pressure is over, the number of pensioners in each of the three classes—insured men, wives of insured men, and insured women—will be ascertained.
