HC Deb 21 October 1918 vol 110 cc438-9W
Sir W. COLLINS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the further increase in the cost of living, amounting to over 100 per cent., it is proposed further to increase the amount of old age pensions beyond the 50 per cent. increase already granted or to amend the law in regard to the limit of 15s. as the amount, including pension, payable to a pensioner?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for Poplar on the 5th August, to which I am unable to add.
