§ 13. Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the fact that between 1st January, 1925, and 31st December, 1925, out of 1,474 ratings who were invalided, as many as 1,397 were refused pensions oh the ground of non-attributability, is causing dissatisfaction, not only amongst those invalided, but amongst Men serving in the Fleet; and whether he can hold out sonic hope that his decision not to give aggrieved invalids a right of appeal will be reconsidered?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI regret that I have nothing to add to my reply of the 18th May to the hon. and gallant Member for North Portsmouth (Sir B. Falle) [OFFICIAL REPORT, 18th May, Columns 123–4].
