HC Deb 22 July 1909 vol 8 c748W
EARL of RONALDSHAY

asked the President of the Local Government Board if the application of Thomas Coley, of 6, Harringay-grove, London, N., for an old age pension has been refused; and, if so, on what grounds?

Mr. BURNS

It is the fact that the claim for a pension has been disallowed in this case, the reason being that the claimant had only resided in the United Kingdom for 10 out of the past 20 years, and consequently did not satisfy the statutory condition as to residence?
