§ 31. Mr. H. Hyndasked the Minister of Pensions how many ex-members of the Polish naval detachment, the Polish armed forces or the Polish Resettlement forces are receiving pensions from his Department.
§ Mr. MarquandIt is estimated that 2,065 disablement pensions were in payment at the 30th September last to ex-members of all Polish forces.
§ Mr. HyndAre these pensions assessed through the ordinary machinery of the Department, or is there a special committee composed largely of Poles who are assessing them?
§ Mr. MarquandI should like notice of that question, but it is my recollection that it is being done in the ordinary way by my Department at the present time.
