45. Lieut.-Commander Clark Hutchisonasked the Prime Minister if he will now set up a Royal Commission to consider the whole question of disability pensions and allowances in the light of the recommendations submitted to His Majesty's Government by the British Legion, Scotland, in 1943.
§ The Lord President of the Council (Mr. Herbert Morrison)A comprehensive review of the War Pension Code was made at the end of last year and the resulting improvements were announced in Command Paper 6714 issued in December. In making this review His Majesty's Government had regard to representations made by various bodies including the British Legion, Scotland, and in the circumstances my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister is not prepared to set up a Royal Commission to consider the recommendations of that body.
Lieut.-Commander HutchisonDoes not the right hon. Gentleman realise that there is a good deal of dissatisfaction with the existing pensions arrangements?
