HC Deb 10 April 1941 vol 370 c1690
57. Mr. Mander

asked the Minister of Pensions why a pension has been refused to 4915159, Sergeant J. Foster, of Wolverhampton, who was graded AI when he entered the Army on 25th August, 1939, and was discharged as C3 on 16th June, 1940, as there was no previous history of chest trouble, but that on discharge he was suffering from chronic bronchitis?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Pensions (Mr. Paling)

My right hon. Friend regrets that it has not been possible in the time available to obtain from "our office in the North the papers which relate to this case. He will, however, look into it and write the hon. Member as soon as possible.

Mr. Mander

May I inform the hon. Member that I shall put down a further Question? I have already had a letter, and that is not much good at all.

Sir R. Acland

Can the hon. Member say whether the Advisory Committee's report on this matter has yet been made, and, if not, when it will be made?

Mr. Deputy-Speaker

That does not arise on this Question.
