§ Captain Stricklandasked the Minister of Health what arrangements are made by his Department for old age pensioners originally qualified in England but now residing in the Isle of Man to draw their pensions whilst in the latter place?
Mr. M. MacDonaldThe law provides that a non-contributory old age pension shall not be paid to any person unless that person is in Great Britain. There is no provision under which a noncontributory pension can be paid to a person in the Isle of Man. So far as pensions under the Contributory Pensions Acts are concerned, however, arrangements already exist under which old age pensioners, originally qualified in England, can continue to draw their pensions at any convenient post office in the Isle of Man.
