HC Deb 17 November 1932 vol 270 c1291W
Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Minister of Labour if, when the Transitional Payments Bill becomes law, he will advice all public assistance committees that they should review applications of ex-service men in receipt of war disability pensions to whom transitional payment has been refused on the ground of the existence of such pensions?

Sir H. BETTERTON

It will be the duty of all public assistance committees to consider as soon as possible all applications for transitional payments which are affected by the change in the law. I am issuing a circular to local authorities drawing their attention to these changes.
