Mr. ANDERSONasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction that exists amongst ex-service men who have completed 21 years' service owing to the fact that when unemployed and on transitional benefit payments the whole of these men's pensions are taken into account when assessing means; and will he take steps to abolish this practice?
