HC Deb 10 June 1918 vol 106 cc1887-8W
General CROFT

asked the Pensions Minister whether it is the intention of the Government to bring the pensions of men discharged from the Army prior to this War, through disability or wounds attributable to or aggravated by military service, up to the same level of pensions of men discharged through these causes in the present War?

Sir A. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWEN

As the hon. and gallant Member is aware, men who were discharged disabled in former wars and are now completely incapable of work as a result of their original disabilities are having their pensions raised to the level of the pensions of the present war. The Government have not formulated any further intentions in the matter.
