HC Deb 16 November 1976 vol 919 cc537-8W
Mr. Loveridge

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the new leaflet containing advice to members of the reserve forces about their financial position in the event of injury or death, and which, in answer to a Question from the hon. Member for Upminster on 14th May 1974, he stated was being prepared, is yet ready.

Dr. Gilbert

As my predecessor told the House on 17th December 1974 the benefits payable in these circumstances are now supplemented by payments from Defence Votes under a new scheme. The details of the new scheme were promulgated to all units of the Reserves, who have since been advised of changes in rates of benefit. I am arranging for a new leaflet to be issued as soon as possible.
