HC Deb 03 December 1936 vol 318 c1458W
Mr. C. WILSON

asked the Minister of Health what is the number of persons in Sheffield who are in, receipt of old age pensions under the Pensions Acts, and the number of those whose income is supplemented by the public assistance committee?

Sir K. WOOD

I regret that the information asked for by the hon. Member in the first part of the question is not available, as the records of pensioners under the Contributory Pensions Acts are not arranged on a territorial basis. The number of persons in Sheffield in receipt of old age pensions under the various Pensions Acts on 1st January, 1936, who were also in receipt of poor relief was 4,656.
