HC Deb 18 March 1947 vol 435 cc54-5W
100. Sir R. Young

asked the Minister of National Insurance why the applications of Mr. Reynolds, 45, Cannon Lane, Culcheth, Lancashire, a member of the Beamers, Twisters and Drawers Society, No. 43484648, for a pension have been ignored; and if he is aware that Mr. Reynolds retired from work at the end of September, 1946, and gave notice of such retirement three months before that time and is now aged 69 years.

Mr. J. Griffiths

A pension book at the increased rate is now in the hands of the area officer of the Assistance Board for delivery to Mr. Reynolds.

Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of National Insurance if he is aware that Mrs. A. J. Bennett, a widow, of Saleby Rectory, near Alford, has written to his Department on many occasions over the last five months about her pension, and has received no adequate reply; and if he will have the matter investigated and remedied without further delay.

Mr. J. Griffiths

Inquiries are being made into this case, and I will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
