§ Mr. CAVEasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the case of Mrs. Quaid, of East Molesey, Surrey, who, after passing through the siege of Luck-now, and spending fifty-two years of her life in India as the wife and widow of a soldier, returned to England sixteen years ago on a pension of £26, but has been refused an old age pension on the ground that she has not resided for twenty years in the United Kingdom; and whether the Government will propose an Amendment to the Old Age Pensions Act which will provide a remedy for this and similar anomalies in the Act?
§ Mr. BURNSMy attention has been called to the case. I have no doubt my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer will consider any suggestions for the amendment of the Old Age Pensions Act which may be laid before him.
