§ Mr. W. G. HALLasked the Minister of Pensions to what extent the medical boarding of men suffering from tuberculosis is undertaken during the more favourable summer months; and will he inquire as to whether this operates adversely to the pensioner?
§ Mr. F. O. ROBERTSThe medical boarding of these cases, as of all other classes of disability, is distributed as evenly as possible over the whole year. The seasonal variations in the condition of a tuberculous case are fully appreciated and are always allowed for in the assessment of pension.
