9. Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that great difficulty is caused to men drawing allowances when under treatment at home but unable to work in finding persons in responsible positions to witness the form M.P.M.S.D. 29, as the witnesses almost invariably understand that in signing the document they are vouching for the accuracy of the man's statement; and whether, in view of the undertaking on the form that the pensioner will at once notify the local committee if he undertakes paid work, the Ministry of Pensions will limit the obligation to complete the form every week to those men who are able to work but who are required on medical grounds to abstain from using their earning capacity, and that in the case of those where the medical certificate shows total incapacity for work the form should only be completed each time the man comes up for review by the medical referee?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe form M.P.M.S.D. 29, to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers, is now under revision, and consideration is being given to the difficulty stated in this question
