HC Deb 25 February 1919 vol 112 cc1604-5W
Captain LOSEBY

asked the Pensions Minister if, in view of the increased cost of living, he is prepared to recommend a temporary bonus on all pensions issued from his Department during the period of unsettlement and reconstruction?

Sir J. CRAIG

A temporary bonus is already in payment in respect of men's disablement pensions and widows' pensions generally, and the question of extending the bonus to alternative pensions and officers'retired pay is under consideration.
