§ Mr. Langford-Holtasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that allowance was made to Mr. F. W. Hart of Shrewsbury by the Treasury for a 1914–18 war disability when prematurely retiring from the Post Office in 1949 on health grounds, he will recommend the renewal of Mr. Hart's war disability pension, or, as Mr. Hart contracted his disability through no fault of his own, whilst engaged as a permanent civil servant and is not now eligible for either sickness or unemployment benefit, he will give authority for Section 41 of Part 3 of the Superannuation Act, 1949, to apply in his case.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThe question of the renewal of a war disability pension is one for my hon. Friend the Minister of Pensions. As regards the second part of the Question, Mr. Hart's service with the Post Office did not bring him within the category of persons covered by the injury warrants framed by the Treasury under Section 41 of the Superannuation Act, 1949, and earlier Acts.
