§ 118. Mr. Langford-Holtasked the Minister of Health whether he will extend the payment of war gratuities to full-time members of the Civil Nursing Reserve.
§ Mr. KeyNo, Sir. These gratuities are awarded only to members of the Armed Forces and whole-time members of the Civil Defence and allied Services whose remuneration was related to Army rates of pay. The award could not be extended in the way suggested by the hon. Member without inviting claims from many other classes which are outside its scope.
