§ Mr. MOSLEYasked the Minister of Pensions whether he will direct that at least two representatives from organisations of discharged men shall sit on each local war pensions committee?
§ Sir J. CRAIGThe Naval and Military War Pensions, etc. (Committees) Act, 1917, provides for the inclusion of at least two discharged disabled men in the membership of local war pensions committees. It is open to the appointing body to invite recommendations from organisations of discharged men, and this method of selection has been largely adopted. My right hon. Friend has already arranged for the issue of a Circular to local authorities urging upon them the necessity when filling vacancies on local committees of increasing to at least four the representation of discharged men, and specifically inviting them to approach associations of ex-Service men for recommendations.
