HC Deb 11 August 1920 vol 133 c414W
Captain BOWYER

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he will empower local war pensions committees with a discretionary prerogative to administer grants to disabled ex-service men who are awaiting the decision of the Pensions Appeal Tribunal as to whether their disability is due to, or aggravated by, military service, and thus prevent the discharged ex-service man from being compelled to apply for parish relief, as is the case so often now?

Major TRYON

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Pontypridd (Mr. T. A. Lewis) in reply to a similar question on the 29th July.
