§ 72. Mr. F. ROBERTSasked the Pensions Minister whether a revision of pensions to disabled officers is under con- 402 sideration; whether he is aware of the evidence submitted to the Pensions Committee to the effect that a large number of disabled officers are existing in conditions of starvation or semi-starvation; and whether there is any prospect of a substantial increase being granted with retrospective effect?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSAs the hon. Member is aware, the position of disabled officers is being investigated by the Select Committee. I cannot anticipate their Report.
