HC Deb 21 June 1920 vol 130 cc1739-40
46. Lieut -Colonel JAMES

asked the Prime Minister whether he is able to state whether a Bill to deal with increased pensions for necessitous pensioners of the State, whose pensions have up to date been on the pre-War scale, will be introduced at an early date with a view to ensuring its passage before the Adjournment of the Rouse in July?

54. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Prime Minister whether he is now in a position to name a date when the Government will be prepared to introduce the Bill for giving legislative effect to the concessions to pre-War pensioners?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The necessary Bill has now been drafted, and I hope that it will be possible to introduce it at a very early date.
