§ 80. Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Pensions the number of applications that have been refused by his Department for light metal limbs for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date, and the number of wooden legs supplied on the Ministry's order in their stead?
The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Lieut.-Colonel Stanley)I have no record of 1891 the number of cases in which the application of a pensioner for a specific type of limb has been refused. As I have before stated, whatever type of limb is medically prescribed is supplied.
§ Colonel DAYHow much has the Department saved by the supply of wooden instead of metal limbs?
