43. Sir HERBERT ROBERTS

asked the Pensions Minister whether he has received representations as to the necessity of increasing the Grant allowed in respect of the funeral expenses of discharged disabled soldiers and sailors; and whether he can make a statement on the subject?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Sir A. Griffith-Boscawen)

The question of increasing the Grant payable under the Special Grants Committee's Regulations is under consideration, and I hope to be in a position to announce the decision shortly.
