HC Deb 16 April 1923 vol 162 c1682
96. Lieut.-Colonel POWNALL

asked the -Minister of Pensions whether, in view of the reduction in the number of war pension committees, he can see his way to authorise all members of such committees, it,Lead of the chairman and vice-chairman oily, to attest pensioners' life certificates?

Captain CRAIG

My right hon. Friend has had under consideration the restriction of facilities for attestation of life certificates which resulted incidentally from the reorganisation of war pensions committees, and the Treasury have agreed at his instance to accept not only certificates attested by any member of a war pensions committee, but also certificates attested by any duly accredited voluntary worker attached to such a committee, or by a member of any of his advisory committees.
