§ Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why men and women who are now receiving the non-contributory old age pension are not allowed to earn up to £3 a week without their pension being stopped, as this would encourage those fit enough and wishing to work to do so and would lessen the man-power shortage.
§ Sir J. AndersonI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on 19th December to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Chichester (Lieut.-Commander Joynson-Hicks). [Vol. 406, C. 1630.]
