OLD AGE PENSIONS
BRITISH INCREASES BECOME EFFECTIVE
(Rec. 11 a.m.)
RUGBY, Aug. 17,
The increased rates of supplementary pensions which were approved by Parliament last month come into force this week. Over a million old people who are now receiving supplementary pensions from the assistance board will nave their allowances raised by 2s 6d weekly, or 5s for a married couple. The total increase will amount to nearly £10,000,000 a year, and will bring the total of old age pensions to £ 135.000,000 a year.—B.O.W.
