HC Deb 04 July 1910 vol 18 cc1478-9W
Mr. MUNRO

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he will consider the desirability of expediting the consideration of Appeals under the Old Age Pensions Act, 1908?

Mr. BURNS

Every effort is made to deal with these appeals as expeditiously as possible. I may say that the number of appeals is very large, and some of them involve a good deal of correspondence. If my hon. Friend has any particular case in view, I shall be glad to do what I can to expedite it.
