HC Deb 24 February 1930 vol 235 c1890W
Major LEIGHTON

asked the Minister of Pensions whether pension will be continued beyond the age of 21 to those orphans who become motherless before the age of 21 and who are totally and permanently incapable of earning a living but who are receiving assistance from the Poor Law authorities?

Mr. F. O. ROBERTS

Continuance of pension will be allowed in the case of young persons who may be in receipt of outdoor relief, but pension will not be continued to an orphan for whom maintenance is provided in an institution.
