Old Age Pensions.

HC Deb 22 January 1913 vol 47 cc422-3W

Mr. FETHERSTONHAUGH

asked the Secretary to the Treasury the total amount paid in old age pensions in the county of Mayo for the year 1912; and how does the amount compare with that paid in 1911?

Mr. MASTERMAN

It is impossible to state with any accuracy the amount paid in respect of old age pensions in county Mayo, but the annual charge may be roughly estimated at £161,600, as at 31st March, 1911, and £167,400 as at 31st March, 1912.
