Mr. PALMERasked the Minister of Pensions if any steps can be taken to obviate an ex-service man, discharged after 10 years' service as unfit, being compelled to draw 7s. 6d. per week Army allowance, 22s. per week unemployment pay, and 9s. 6d. per week in food tickets from the guardians, to make up a total of £1 19s. per week for himself, his wife, and two children to exist upon?
Mr. MUIRIn the absence of particulars, I am unable to give my hon. Friend information as to the case referred to 1941W so far as it may concern my Department. Payment of the several sums referred to from three sources is inherent in the statutory conditions and limitations under which the authorities responsible for War disability compensation, for unemployment, and for Poor Law relief respectively operate.
