Mr. Davidsonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has fully considered the resolution submitted to him by the National Spinsters Pension Association; and, if so, has he any statement to make?
§ Sir J. SimonThe Resolution in question has been considered but it appears to ignore the fact that the whole question of pensions for unmarried women has recently formed the subject of full consideration by an important and impartial Committee whose report was published in April of this year. This report did not endorse the main contentions which have been advanced by the National Spinsters Pensions Association in support of their case and which are reiterated in their recent Resolution.
