§ Sir L. Lyleasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, before the next Budget, he will make an inquiry into the position of all people living on small pensions, whether State pensions or privately earned pensions, with the object of seeing whether their condition merits special consideration in the shape of reduced taxation or increased allowance?
§ Sir K. WoodI do not consider it would he practicable for the Government to undertake a special responsibility for private pensions.
