HC Deb 19 March 1929 vol 226 cc1598-9
39. Sir WILLIAM EDGE

asked the Minister of Pensions the number of final awards which have been reviewed since the Government came into office?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Lieut.-Colonel Stanley)

In about 6,000 current cases increased grants have during this period been made on review, including cases of second or supervening disability and re-amputation. The total number of cases thus dealt with is less than 1 per cent. of the whole number of final awards which have been made.
