§ 60. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenportasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he will authorise an increase in the maximum rate of pensions given to the parents of ex-Service men in view of the fact that parents' pensions are based on need and such need has become greater during the last few years.
§ Mr. PeakeNo. The governing factor is what the deceased might have been expected to contribute to his parents' support had he survived, and I think that the present arrangements enable justice to be done in individual cases.
