HC Deb 03 March 1910 vol 14 cc1062-3W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he will state in how many of the applications for old age pensions approved by local pension committees and refused by the Local Government Board in Great Britain was the absence of the applicant's name from the Census Returns a reason for the refusal?

Mr. BURNS

The number of appeals from England and Wales (with which alone I am concerned) decided by the Local Government Board in which the point at issue was that of age has been 1,273. The statistical records do not show in how many cases resort was had to the Census Returns to elucidate the age of the claimant.
