§ 77. Mr. du Cannasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why retirement pensioner patients in mental hospitals who would otherwise be entitled to tobacco tokens are deprived of them.
§ Mr. PowellRetirement pensioners are by Statute entitled to tobacco tokens only if they receive their pension by means of weekly orders. Their entitlement ceases if their order books are withdrawn, as happens when the hospital concerned draws the pensions in bulk.
