HC Deb 01 August 1922 vol 157 c1273W
Captain LOSEBY

asked the Minister of Pensions if in the year 1916 an undertaking in Parliament was given that no grants made out of any local fund should be taken into account as other income in giving the amount of need pensions, provided that it did not form a permanent addition to the income of the recipient; and if this pledge is being observed?

Major TRYON

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Pensions gave on the same point to the hon. Member for Middlesbrough West (Mr. T. Thomson) en the 27th July. I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy.
