THOMSONasked the Minister of Pensions whether, in view of the fact that where local pension committees depute one of their members to accompany ex-service men and their dependants to assist them in presenting their cases before the appeal tribunals a larger proportion of successes tyre obtained than when they go alone, he will authorise the payment of the extra travelling expenses incurred in such cases?
§ Major TRYONI am not prepared to adopt this suggestion.
