§ Mr. MORGANasked the Pensions Minister whether the increase in pensions 745W for disabled soldiers and sailors relates only to the members of His Majesty's Forces who have suffered in the present war; and, if so, whether he will consider the justice of making the Warrant apply to those who, having served their country in previous wars, are still incapacitated from earning their living by blindness or other serious infirmity, having regard to the keener sense of humanity on the part of the nation which prevails to-day and the rise in the cost of living?
§ Sir A. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWENThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. With regard to the second part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for West Cork on the 6th instant, namely, that the matter is receiving consideration.
