§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Prime Minister whether the Government have considered what would be the effect on unemployment, if any, of the removal by statute of all persons from remunerative occupations who are now in receipt of a reasonable amount of pension or retiring allowance; if so, will he state the results; and, if not, will he cause such an inquiry to be made and issue a report thereon?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENFrom such inquiries as have already been made by the Government, I am satisfied that such a proposal would be administratively impracticable.
