§ 2. Mr. RENDALLasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that the pension scale for limb injuries, which gives a stated sum as compensation for the limb lost, ignores the pensioner's general health, which may be shattered or gravely injured by the injuries that caused the loss of the limb; and what course he has taken, or proposes to take, to deal with this problem?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe scale contained in the First Schedule of the Royal Warrant is designed to compensate merely for the specific injuries there stated. In the actual award of pension, however, due allowance is made for any concomitant loss of health, the amount of pension being based on the total extent of disablement due to or aggravated by service.
