HC Deb 07 August 1918 vol 109 cc1372-3W
Mr. FARRELL

asked the Pensions Minister whether he has been supplied with the names of the county Longford Naval and Military Pensions Committee recently appointed by the Longford County Council; when this new committee is to meet; and whether it will be entitled to appoint its own secretary?

Mr. HODGE

I have been supplied with the names of the persons appointed to form the Longford County War Pensions Committee, and I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the list for his information. Arrangements are being made for the first meeting of the committee, but the date is not yet fixed. The committee will be entitled to engage a secretary, at a salary approved by the local authority and the Local Government Board.
