HC Deb 16 February 1922 vol 150 cc1184-5
14. Sir M. DOCKRELL

asked the Minister of Pensions whether Article 5 of Articles of Agreement for a Treaty between Great Britain and Ireland in- volves any responsibility upon the part of the Irish Free State for the future care and treatment of Irish war pensioners, or is it intended that Great Britain shall continue this responsibility?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Arrangements for the payment of pensions and the discharge of other obligations under the Royal Pension Warrants in respect of pensioners in South Ireland will fall to be made both by my Department and by the Service Departments concerned on lines appropriate to the circumstances.
