HC Deb 08 December 1948 vol 459 c58W
85. Mr. Symonds

asked the Secretary of State for Air how many disability pensions are administered direct by his Department.

Mr. de Freitas

Five hundred and fifteen.

86. Mr. Symonds

asked the Secretary of State for Air what steps he has taken or proposes to take to ensure that all disability pensioners for whom his Department is responsible are made aware of all the allowances and services to which they may now be entitled.

Mr. de Freitas

As the number of pensioners is small it has been possible to tell each pensioner of any changes in entitlement which appear to benefit him. Furthermore a pamphlet will be sent to each pensioner giving a comprehensive list of benefits and explaining the conditions attaching to them.
