HC Deb 14 November 1944 vol 404 c1821W
Sir H. Williams

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why the Pension Injury Warrant Order (S.R. & O., No. 577, of 1935), which was signed by two Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, namely, the late Mr. James Blindell and the present Minister of Pensions on 27th June, 1935, was not printed and published by His Majesty's Stationery Office until November, 1944; and what action has been taken under the Order between its date of signature and its date of publication.

Mr. Peake

My hon. Friend is under a misapprehension. The Injury Warrant in question was duly published by H.M. Stationery Office on 1st July, 1935, and was included in the volume of Statutory Rules and Orders for that year. The copy dated 1944 to which my hon. Friend refers is one of several subsequent reprints. In these circumstances the second part of the Question does not arise.
