§ Mr. Michael Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether, in the light of the latest medical evidence, he has any proposals to review the eligibility for war pensions of far eastern prisoners of war.
§ Mr. NewtonNo. Any service man disabled as a result of service is eligible for a war pension. When considering whether a claim from a far eastern prisoner of war meets the conditions for entitlement, full account is taken of the conditions that were suffered by far eastern prisoners of war and of the latest medical evidence.
