§ Mr. ELLIS DAVIESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that the House of Commons considered it necessary to raise the amount of income under which old age pensions could be claimed, and that at present the applicant is deemed to be receiving £5 per cent. by way of income 475W on part of his capital and £10 per cent on the remainder, he can consider reducing the rate, in view of the fact that no such income can be secured by the old age pensioner from his small capital?
Mr. GUINNESSI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave on the 10th February to the hon. Member for Middlesbrough West (Mr. T. Thomson) on the same point.
