§ Mr. D. SOMERVILLEasked the Minister of Pensions whether he will state the rules governing the commutation of pensions?
§ Major TRYONRegulations governing the commutation of disablement pensions have been approved and will be laid before the House as soon as the actuarial tables of rates, which are in course of1056W preparation, have been completed. Commutation will, as at present, be closely restricted to exceptional cases of permanent pension in which it is clear that benefit would, undoubtedly, accrue to the pensioner and that a refusal to commute would occasion hardship.
