§ 49. Mr. H. Fraserasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that there is often a long delay in the issue of pension books owing to internal confusion between the Ministry of National Insurance, the Post Office and the Treasury, he will consider making tobacco tokens for old age pensioners valid as from the date of application.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallI am not aware of any undue delay and there is certainly no such confusion as is suggested. I regret that it is not practicable to vary the present scheme.
