Mr. DALTON

asked the Minister of Health the number of wage-earners aged 65 and over, and the proportion which this number bears to the total population aged 65 and over, in the last census year, at the present time, and at the latest convenient date before old age pensions became payable at 65 years of age?

Member for Bedwellty (Mr. C. Edwards) on 20th November. I regret that the further information desired is not available.
