HC Deb 22 May 1924 vol 173 c2378
10. Mr. E. BROWN

asked the Minister of Pensions the composition of the newly proposed advisory councils on war pensions?

Mr. ROBERTS

The scheme for the constitution and procedure of the new advisory councils is at present in draft, and is the subject-matter of discussion at the series of conferences which I am holding in certain important centres, with representatives of war pensions committees. I may say, however, that it is intended that the new councils shall include one representative appointed on the nomination of each war pensions committee in the area covered by the council, together with direct representatives of disabled ex-service men, widows and dependants.
