HC Deb 07 April 1913 vol 51 cc819-20W
Mr. O'SHEE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that the Lismore Board of Guardians have passed a resolution asking the Government to enable the maintenance of old age pensioners in the workhouse to be charged against their pensions; and whether he will favourably consider this suggestion.

Mr. MASTERMAN

I am afraid I am unable to propose the legislation which would be required for this purpose.
