HC Deb 20 February 1919 vol 112 c1112
25. Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Pensions Minister if he is now in a position to make any statement in regard to the maintenance charges to officers and men in hospitals?

Sir J. CRAIG

I am not yet in a position to make any statement with regard to the disparity between the maintenance charges for officers in hospitals and those for men, but the question is being very closely considered.

Mr. PENNEFATHER

When may we expect a statement?

Sir J. CRAIG

I hope my right hon. Friend the Pensions Minister will be in his place this day week to answer the question.

Mr. PENNEFATHER

I will put it down again.
