§ Mr. PeakeNone. I am, however, familiar with the views of the organisation responsible for the meetings which I assume the hon. Member has in mind, since I have received several deputations from it during my term of office.
§ 91. Mr. Hastingsasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance what proportion of old-age pensioners have other sources of income besides their pension; and in what way are such other sources of income estimated.
§ Mr. PeakeLess than a quarter of the retirement pensioners are in receipt of National Assistance; most of the remainder and many of those receiving Assistance have other resources.
