HC Deb 19 August 1909 vol 9 c1668W
Mr. FIELD

asked whether, in the event of the means of a pensioner, that is, a person in receipt of a pension, having so improved that there is a prospect for at least a week or a month they will exceed the rate of £31 10s. a year, that pensioner is to be regarded as no longer satisfying the statutory condition as to means?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The question would be one for the local pension committee to determine, subject to appeal to the Local Government Board. Regard being had to the provisions of Section 4 of the Act, it is clear that the decision must in each case depend upon the circumstances of the particular case.
