§ 71. Sir J. Lucasasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance if, in 187W view of the fact that ex-Service officers and men wounded, disabled or gassed in World War I are not allowed to appeal to a tribunal when their wounds worsen with age, she will give publicity to the official facilities which are available to ameliorate their sufferings.
§ Mr. Harold DaviesIt is open to any ex-Service man of the 1914 War to approach the Department at any time if his disability worsens and, if he is still dissatisfied with his assessment, to discuss his case with his local War Pensions Committee. These, and other facilities available by way of welfare and treatment, have been widely publicised, and the War Pensions Committees and their voluntary workers, the ex-Service associations, the Press and, not least, hon. Members themselves all help to make them more widely known. If, however, the hon. and gallant Gentleman has any particular aspect in mind, my right hon. Friend would of course be glad to consider it.
