HC Deb 29 May 1916 vol 82 c2394
49. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government have reconsidered the original amount of separation allowances in view of the rise in prices; and whether he is prepared to refer this matter to the original Pensions Committee with a view to an increased allowance?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The Government do not think it necessary to increase the amount of the ordinary separation allowances in view of the provisions which they have made for exceptional cases being dealt with under the new scheme.

Mr. PRINGLE

When will the new scheme be put in operation?
