HC Deb 26 March 1925 vol 182 cc655-6W
Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer for what reason Thomas Chitty, of 5, New Road, Tottenham, who entered the North Middlesex Hospital on 12th January last, has received no payment of his old age pension since 27th February?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I understand that Mr. Chitty's pension order book expired on the 27th February. He had been in the North Middlesex Hospital since the 12th January, and owing to a misunderstanding arising from this fact, there was some delay in the delivery to him of a new pension order book due on the 6th March. But there has been no break in the continuity of his pension, and a new book containing orders payable as from the 6th March has been delivered to him.
