HC Deb 24 May 1909 vol 5 c966W
Mr. THOMAS F. SMYTH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has received complaints as to the gratuities of pension officers and as to injustice in the distribution of the grant; and whether he will have these complaints inquired into?

Mr. GLENDINNING

asked the right hon. Gentleman whether, in view of the number of protests which he has received in connection with the distribution of the gratuities of office under the Old Age Pensions Act he will cause the matter to be inquired into, in order that justice may be done to all the officers?

Mr. GULLAND

asked what steps the right hon. Gentleman proposes to take to ascertain whether the complaints as to inequality in distribution of the Old Age Pensions Act remuneration to pension officers are well founded?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I will answer these three questions at the same time. Some representations on this subject have been addressed to me, and they are now being carefully inquired into.
