HC Deb 24 March 1920 vol 127 c405
52. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Prime Minister whether the Cabinet Committee appointed to consider the question of necessitous oases among pre-War pensioners have come to any decision; and, if so, whether he can make a statement to the House on the subject?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The Committee have not yet reported, and I am therefore unable to make any statement on the subject.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Does the right hon. Gentleman think the Committee will be in a position to report before Easter?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I hope so. They have had a good many meetings, and nobody knows better than my hon. Friend that the subject is not an easy one.
