47. Sir WILLIAM LANE MITCHELLasked the Prime Minister whether, with 1252 regard to those Government pensioners paid on the pre-War basis and excluded from the benefits of the Pensions (Increase) Acts, 1920 and 1924, and to the sympathetic statements relative thereto by Members of the present Government during the Debates of 19th May and 5th June, 1924, it is the intention of the Government at an early date to introduce legislation to provide for an extension of the benefits of those Acts amongst all or any of the pensioners hitherto excluded therefrom?
§ Mr. McNEILLI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on the 25th October, 1920, to the hon. Member for Devonport.
