§ Sir W. Bromley-Davenportasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he will arrange that drafts covering retirement pensions, which are now paid into banks every quarter, should be paid at shorter intervals of a fortnight or a month.
§ Mr. WoodThe ordinary pension order book can be presented for payment at the post office at any interval up to 13 weeks. There is an alternative arrangement under which pensions can be paid in arrears by quarterly draft. I should not feel justified in adding to the cost of these arrangements in the way proposed.
