HC Deb 30 July 1925 vol 187 cc643-4
18. Mr. J. HUDSON (for Mr. ROBINSON)

asked the Minister of Health whether dependants' pensions payable or that may become payable under Articles 1102, 1103 and 1104 of the Royal Warrant for the Pay, Appointment, Promotion, and Non-effective Pay of the Army, 1922, will be taken into consideration when the recipients become eligible for pension under the Widows', Orphans', and Old Age Contributory Pensions Bill?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir.

19. Mr. J. HUDSON (for Mr. ROBINSON)

asked the Minister of Health whether pensions payable to dependants, other than widows, children, or parents, under Article 22 of the Royal Warrant of 1922 and the corresponding Order in Council affecting the Navy, will be taken into consideration when the recipients become eligible for pension under the Widows', Orphans', and Old Age Contributory Pensions Bill?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The reference to Article 22 of the Royal Warrant of 1922 is not understood. Pensions to the dependants of men who served in the Navy are given under the Order in Council dated 7th November, 1924, and, if the question relates to persons entitled under Article 27 of that Order, the answer is in the negative.
