HC Deb 14 May 1925 vol 183 cc1994-5
6. Mr. PALING

asked the Minister of Pensions what is the nature of the qualifications necessary for an applicant to secure a grant from the Voluntary Funds under the control of the Ministry?

Major TRYON

Grants are made from the Voluntary Funds referred to at the discretion of the Minister after full consideration of all the circumstances of the case, and subject to the conditions under which the funds were created. It would not be parcticable to set out in detail the conditions applicable to the various types of case. But it may be said in general that in all cases disablement or death by war service is a condition precedent to the grant of assistance from these funds
