HC Deb 21 February 1924 vol 169 c2003W
Sir B. FALLE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the fact that the scale of disablement pensions, shown in Admiralty Fleet, Order No. 13, 1922, will rarely, if ever, exceed the service element, he will cause such scales to be amended to the amounts generally awarded, and thus remove the erroneous impression that post-war naval disability pensions are more generous than they actually are?

Mr. AMMON

The assumption that the disablement pension will rarely, if ever, exceed the service element is not warranted. The experience of the Department, so far, is, indeed, to the contrary. No amendment of the scales is, therefore, called for.
