§ Sir PERCY HARRIS(by Private Notice) asked the Minister of Pensions whether it will require legislation in order to give the promised concession to ex-service men entering hospitals or whether it can be carried out by administrative action, and, if so, from what date will such action become operative?
§ Major GEORGE DAVIES (Lord of the Treasury)I have been asked to reply. No legislation will be necessary. The concession will take effect as soon as the necessary instructions can be got out, which should be within the next 10 days.
