§ 40. Lieut.-Colonel Byersasked the Minister of Pensions how many limbless persons are now receiving pensions; and how many have applied, so far, for the new clothing allowance.
§ Mr. Wilfred PalingThe numbers are, some 37,00o and 14,000 respectively.
§ Lieut.-Colonel ByersIs the Minister satisfied that the existence of this grant is adequately known throughout the country?
§ Mr. PalingIt has been fairly well advertised, but if there is any way by which it can be made better known, and if some of these people have not applied because they did not know about it, I would be willing to do it.
