HC Deb 29 October 1918 vol 110 c1307W
Sir H. GREENWOOD

asked the Pensions Minister whether, in view of the increased cost of living, he can see his way to double the increase of 2s. 6d. which was granted to the special campaign pensioners, all men above the age of sixty-five in May last?

Mr. FORSTER

I am afraid I cannot do as my hon. and gallant Friend suggests. The increase already given to these pensioners is the same as that given to old age pensioners at age 70.
