§ 34. Mr. Langford-Holtasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he will inquire into the case of a constituent whose name has already been sent to him, who on account of his having to accept premature superannuation from the Civil Service, partly through a 1914–18 war disability, after serving a period of 40 years, is now living with his wife on a Civil Service pension which is less than the grant normally made to persons who are entirely dependent on National Assistance; and as National Assistance has now been refused, if he will take steps to have this man's pension supplemented by other means.
§ Mr. PeakeMy inquiries into the circumstances of this case are not yet complete but I will write to my hon. Friend in the course of the next few days.
