Old-Age Pensions
Old-Age Pensions.
The removal of the disability now existing by which the possession of a home valued at £270 deprives otherwise deserving persons of all pension.
Since the New Liberal party was formed it has succeeded in forcing from the Government a concession, which provides that "bona fide" homes not exceeding a value of £150 do not disqualify persons from the receipt of the full pension of £26 per year.
