§ Mr. Perkinsasked the Secretary of State for War how many cases of cancer have been accepted by his Department as attributable to or aggravated by service in the Army.
§ Mr. Heathcoat AmoryI have been asked to reply. It is estimated that about 1,400 awards of pension have been made in respect of disablement or death from cancer accepted by my Department as attributable to or aggravated by service in the military Forces during the 1939 war and since. I regret that similar information in respect of the 1914–18 war is not available.
