Major BARKERasked the Minister of Pensions if he is aware that the grant of 1s. 3d. allowed for the provision of leather pads to be fitted to pensioners' coat sleeves, whilst artificial limbs are being repaired, is inadequate; if he is aware that the extra grant of 3d. allowed to local committees for labour to stitch on these leather pads is inadequate; and if he will increase the grant?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONIt has been found that in some areas this allowance of 1s. 6d. has proved insufficient, and whore that situation obtains the increase necessary has been authorised.
