§ 36. Major Nieldasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is yet able to make a statement as to the increases of pensions to be allowed to State pensioners and, in particulars, to men who served in the Boer war and in the war of 1914.
§ The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir John Anderson)No, Sir, but I hope to be able to do so very shortly.
§ Major NieldWill my right hon. Friend be prepared to inform the House if it is proposed to increase pensions generally to meet the higher cost of living or merely to assist individual cases?
§ Sir J. AndersonI think I had better not anticipate what I shall have to say on a later occasion.
