HC Deb 06 November 1919 vol 120 cc1650-1
9. Captain LOSEBY

asked the Pensions Minister if he has yet been able to put into operation the recommendations of the Select Committee on Pensions that soldiers appearing before medical boards should be informed immediately after examination of the degree of disability translated into terms of money at which they have been assessed?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

As I informed the House on the 31st July last, as soon as the Medical Appeal Boards are in operation in the regions the pensioner will be told the degree of disability found by the board which examines him.

Captain COOTE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when these boards are likely to be established?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

They are very nearly complete. In most regions they are in operation.
