§ Mr. C. EDWARDSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take steps to abolish the means limit 1109W under the Old Age Pensions Acts, 1908 to 1924, or, alternatively, will he take steps to alter the method of calculating the yearly value of property as set forth in paragraph (a) of Section 4 (1) of the Old Age Pension Act, 1919, which creates much dissatisfaction?
