§ 6. Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the Minister of Pensions if he will consider the advisability of setting up a Select Committee of Members of all political parties in the House of Commons to go into all matters connected with rules, regulations and Orders issued by his Department?
§ Major TRYONI would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Prime Minister in this House on the 26th March last, of which I am sending him a copy.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSAlthough the right hon. Gentleman can never expect to give entire satisfaction to every applicant, does he not think that a Committee of this description would at least give all applicants some measure of consolation that fair dealing and even justice was being handed out?
§ Major TRYONThat was not the view of either the late Government or the present Government. This matter, as my hon. Friend knows, was fully discussed during the Debate; but I am making inquiries myself.
