§ 5. Dr. M'DONALDasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware of the interruption in the training of pensioners even after successful probation and, in many cases, the prolonged delay in paying these men their authorised allowances?
§ The MINISTER of LABOUR (Dr. Macnamara)I have been asked to reply to this question. I am not clear what my hon. Friend means by the interruption in the training of pensioners, even after successful probation, and I am not aware that there is now any undue delay in the payment to trainees of the allowance to which they are entitled. If, however, he will speak to me or send me details of any particular instances he may have in mind, I shall be glad to investigate them.
