HC Deb 15 March 1916 vol 80 cc2096-7W
Mr. ASTOR

asked the Under-Secretary for War whether all county councils are periodically being supplied with lists of men discharged from the Army as unfit and disabled by officers in charge of records, so that these bodies may be able to deal with the men under the Pensions Act?

Mr. TENNANT

When my hon. Friend speaks of the county councils I fancy he is referring to the local committees which are to be formed to deal with the work allotted to such committees under the Naval and Military War Pensions Act. Lists are now being supplied by the officers in charge of records through the Board of Trade for the Labour Exchanges, and I will consider whether they shall not be sent to the local committees as and when each committee may be formed.
