§ Mr. W. BROWNasked the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the complaints still arising in regard to the treatment of ex-service men's claims to pension, he will set up a committee to inquire into and report upon the extent to which the nation's obligations to ex-service men are being satisfactorily met; the question whether and, if so, how the present War Pensions Acts, Royal Warrants, and Regulations require amendment; and the possibility and desirability of centralising the payment of all pensions in a single Department?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENI have been asked to answer this question. I see no reason for the proposed inquiry. I am satisfied that any complaints that may arise can be, and are being, fairly met under the existing procedure.
