§ 68. Mr. EGANasked the Minister of Pensions if he will circulate statistics, showing the effects of the arrangements which he has made for the consideration of appeals by recipients of pre-War dependency pensions, whose pensions had been reduced as the result of the general review?
The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Mr. J. W. Muir)Complete figures are not yet available. I am glad, however, to be able to inform my hon. Friend that, out of the cases so far investigated in which reasons have been shown by the pensioner against either a proposed or an actual reduction of pre-War dependence pension, in 1,300 cases either the reduction has been modified or the full pension claimed has been allowed.
