asked the Minister of Health whether he will inquire into the circumstances attending the fact that William Pearce, 75, Crownfield Road, Stratford, E.15, sent the necessary voucher for the renewal of his old age pension book on 8th February, but no book has yet been received by him?

Yes, Sir. I am making inquiries, and I will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as those inquiries have been completed.
