§ 38. Mr. Willisasked the Minister of Pensions if he will arrange for Scottish War Pensions (Special Review) cases to be prepared and forwarded to the tribunal in such numbers as will justify sittings of the tribunal being held in Scotland, thus enabling these cases to be heard there.
§ Mr. Wilfred PalingI am transmitting cases to the Tribunal Office as rapidly as circumstances permit, but each application involves a considerable amount of work, and at any rate for some time the flow of cases generally cannot be on a large scale.
§ Mr. WillisAre there not sufficient Scottish cases to be submitted at once instead of going singly to the tribunal, so 760 that they could be heard in Scotland, because there is some disquiet amongst Scottish ex-Servicemen?
§ Mr. PalingWe are trying to arrange that. There is an instance where two cases are being brought up. We did that so that they would not have to wait a long time. If they wait till we get sufficient in Scotland we will do what is suggested.
