§ 68. Mr. NAYLORasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction existing among pensioned ex-service men at the regulation which prevents the commutation of pensions below the value of 2s. per day; and whether he will consider the advisability of this restrictive limit being modified or removed?
The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINSTRY of PENSIONS (Lieut.-Colonel Stanley)My right hon. Friend is satisfied from experience that the requirements of the present statutory regulations, which secure uniformity of practice between the Ministry of Pensions and the Service Departments, preserve to the pensioner no more than the minimum pension which should be left uncommitted.
