HC Deb 24 July 1916 vol 84 cc1348-9W
Sir JAMES YOXALL

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in fixing the amounts of pensions, the practice of the military authorities not to take into account any grants of a temporary character which are made to the dependants of soldiers from unofficial benevolent sources applies also, and equally, to the pensions awarded to disabled soldiers?

Mr. FORSTER

If I understand my hon. Friend's question aright, the answer is in the affirmative, but perhaps he will respond to my request for a more specific description of the grants referred to.
