§ 4. Mr. Doddsasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he will set up an independent inquiry to find out whether war pensions scales are high enough in view of the dissatisfaction at present existing.
§ Mr. PeakeNo, Sir. There is full information available on this matter and I see no need for an inquiry of this kind.
§ Mr. DoddsWill the right hon. Gentleman explain why, in the Conservative Party document, "The Right Road for 809 Britain," his party stated that they would set up an independent inquiry to find out whether war pensions scales were high enough? Did they really mean that or were they, once again, only "kidding"?
§ Mr. PeakeThat was some years ago, and since then a Conservative Government has been returned and have increased war pensions.
