HC Deb 06 November 1919 vol 120 cc1651-2
11. Captain LOSEBY

asked the Pensions Minister if he has yet been able to put into operation the recommendation of the Select Committee on Pensions that pensions awarded by the medical boards to disabled soldiers should not be liable to reduction by any administrative act but only by decision of a further competent board:

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The answer is in the affirmative. As each region is set up arrangements are made to ensure that the findings of the medical boards of the Ministry shall not be amended without the agreement of the board which examined the man or of a board which will re-examine him.
