HC Deb 29 March 1928 vol 215 c1316
4. Mr. ROBINSON

asked the Minister of Pensions the number of pensioners suffering from tuberculosis who have been put off treatment allowances during the three months ending 29th February; and if it is now the policy of the Ministry not to pay treatment allowances unless a man is in an institution?

Major TRYON

During the three months quoted 2,459 cases terminated a course of treatment with allowances, whilst 1,221 fresh cases were admitted to treatment with allowances. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
