HC Deb 05 May 1909 vol 4 c1167W
Mr. HICKS BEACH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Treasury officials have completed their investigation into the granting of old age pensions in Ireland, and how many pensions have been disallowed by them?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

The investigation has now been completed, but it will be some time before it is possible to state how many pensions will be disallowed as a result of it, since the cases in dispute have to be again submitted to the local pensions committees.
