§ Captain Stricklandasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will make provisions whereby, during the con- 794W tinuation of the present war period, non-contributory old age pensions payable to persons originally qualified in Great Britain may be made payable in the Isle of Man as is at present done for contributory old age pensions?
§ Captain CrookshankI am afraid that I cannot at the moment hold out any hope of legislation to alter the legal position, which is that a non-contributory old age pension cannot be paid to a person who is not in Great Britain.
