§ 11. Lieutenant-Colonel A. MURRAYasked the Pensions Minister whether he is aware that many voluntary workers on local war pensions committees in Scotland, though greatly inconvenienced, are remaining at their duties from patriotic motives; and whether he can make any announcement regarding the date on which their services will no longer be required?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI gratefully acknowledge the fact stated, and, as I am convinced that the success of the work of the Department largely depends upon the efforts of members of committees, earnestly hope they will continue to carry on their work.
§ Lieutenant-Colonel MURRAYHow long does the right hon. Gentleman intend these committees to carry on their work?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI do not want to prophesy; I want the committees to continue to carry on.
