HC Deb 28 June 1917 vol 95 c545W
Mr. KING

asked the Pensions Minister whether the Chelsea Commissioners continue to act; if so, who is the chairman of the Chelsea Commissioners and what salary does he receive; and how soon, in the interest of public economy, will this office and its salary be discontinued?

Mr. FORSTER

The Chelsea Commissioners do continue to act as regards service pensions. The Ministry of Pensions Act has only taken away the disability cases from them. The Chairman is the Paymaster-General. As Chairman or Commissioner he does not receive any salary.
