§ Commander KINGasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether both life pensions and unemployment donations are provided with a view to preventing 1232W actual want on the part of the recipient; whether there is great inequality between the amount of the present unemploymnt donations and the amount of pensions for widows, and also the rate of pre-war pensions for men of His Majesty's Services; if so, which rate of payment carries out the intention for which it is provided, in view of the fact that the cost of living is the same for both classes of recipients; and whether action will be taken to remove the disparity?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave to his question on this subject on Monday last. I am afraid that I can add nothing to that answer.
