§ Major BARKERasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he will consider the advisability of making local war pensions sub-committees into committees and so obviate the delay which now occurs between subcommittees, county councils, and the head pensions office?
§ Sir JAMES CRAIGI have been asked to reply to this question. The proposal of the hon. and gallant Member would not be practicable as regards all the 1,700 sub-committees. There are already 332 committees in direct relation with the Ministry, and from time to time, where1110W a special case is made out, sub-committees are converted into committees. If the hon. and gallant Member has any special case in mind and will bring it to my right hon. Friend's notice, it shall be considered.
