HC Deb 22 June 1916 vol 83 cc356-7W
Mr. W. THORNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many Poor Law guardians have sent along resolutions asking the Government to increase the old age pension; and if the Government intend taking any action in the matter?

Mr. McKENNA

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. I fear the information asked for in the first part of the question is not available. As regards the last part, I can add nothing to the answers which have already been given on this subject.
