§ 7. Mr. R. RICHARDSONasked the Minister of Pensions if his attention has been drawn to the number of disabled ex-service men receiving relief from the guardians owing to their pensions being insufficient, and the handicap placed upon them in finding work because of their disablement; and if he will consider the granting of full pensions to these men whilst out of employment?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Abertillery (Mr. G. Barker) on the 9th instant.
§ Mr. RICHARDSONIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that a large number of these people are receiving relief from the guardians, and does he not think that in these cases the Government might give relief such as I have indicated?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe Government is giving relief through other Departments. I give the full pension assessed in every case.
