6. Mr. BECKER

asked the Minister of Pensions how many Army and Navy pensioners there were at the end of June; how many receive permanent life pensions; and how many are receiving short term pensions?

Major TRYON

There were in payment at the end of June approximately 570,000 disablement pensions of which about 160,000 were permanent life pensions.

Mr. BECKER

Should steps not be taken as soon as possible in this matter?

Major TRYON

We are pushing forward with making final awards.
