asked the Minister for Social Welfare whether, as he did last year, he intends to introduce legislation to enable the payment in December, 1956, of 2/6 to old age pensioners.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Payment to Old Age Pensioners.
The answer is in the negative.
Am I to understand that the old age pensioners will not get this payment this year?
That is right.
Might I ask the Minister if he would assure the House, as the Minister responsible for old age pensioners, if he will remedy this meanest act of a mean Government.
