OLD AGE PENSIONS BILL,
Received June 25, 12.28 a.m. LONDON, June 24
Tha House of Commons considered the Old Age Pensions Bill in committee.
Mr G. F. C. Bowles, Conservative M.P. for Lambeth, moved an amendment that pensions only be paid while the pensioner remained in the United Kingdom. ' Messrs A. J. Balfour and A. Chamberlain maintained that the pensioners ought to be allowed to go to places oversea, where their friends live. The Hon. Lloyd George explained that the Government desired the pensions to be payable on the conditions as prevailed in the colonies —namely, while the claimant resided in the colonies. Abssnce of a brief period would not cause forfeiture. The amendment was rejected by a majority of 275.
