§ 64. Mr. HOGGEasked the Prime Minister whether he proposes to make any temporary provision for disabled men whose disability is said not to be due to or aggravated by service until such time as other and permanent arrangements are made to deal with them?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am advised that, in the opinion of the Departments concerned, the answer should for the present be in the negative.
§ Mr. HOGGEHas the right hon. Gentleman seen a statement by the Paymaster-General that the cases of men accepted as medically fit and discharged as suffering from disease due to service must be con- 1295 sidered by Parliament, and where the separation allowance to wives and children ceases immediately and neither pension nor separation allowance is paid would he consider giving the temporary allowance until the matter is finally adjusted?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROf course I will consider it, but I must leave it to the Statutory Committee.
