60. Miss Wardasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer which of our social service benefits since the Great War, covering education, National Health Insurance, Unemployment Insurance, public assistance, unemployment assistance, pensions, and war pensions, have been based on the cost of living?
§ Captain CrookshankWith the exception of Great War pensions, none of the social service benefits mentioned in the question are governed by provisions for automatic revision with fluctuations in the cost of living. Great War pensions were so related in the 1919 Warrant, though no reduction in them corresponding to the subsequent fall in the cost of living has, in fact, been made.
