LORD FRASER OF LONSDALE

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have any statement to make regarding war pensions and allowances.

LORD ABERDARE

Her Majesty's Government acknowledges the unique nature of the war pensions and allowances provided for those whose disablement or widowhood results from service in the Armed Forces, reaffirms its intention to preserve the tradition of giving special treatment to war pensioners and their widows and undertakes to review war pensions and allowances at two yearly intervals in the light of economic growth and the cost of living.
