The following Question stood upon the Order Paper:

to ask the Minister of National Insurance if he will expedite the issue of the increased retirement pension to Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Linnett, St. Peter'sad-Murum, Bradwell-juxta-Mare, near Southminster, Essex, pension books 23484991 and 14427993, respectively, on whose behalf repeated applications have been made in vain to Blackpool, and the former of whom completed the form certifying retirement some five months ago.

On a point of Order. In order not to delay the House, I will accept a written answer to my Question. I hope it will he satisfactory
