§ Colonel ASHLEYasked the Minister of Pensions, in view of his statement that it is not intended to ask for a refund from future issues of pensions where prior to the Government's decision, payment of the higher rates of both disablement and Service pensions may have already been made, whether he will investigate the case of Staff-sergeant-major Arthur Shinn, 1342W Army Pay Corps, from whom a recovery of £2 s. has already been made; and whether he will immediately issue instructions that such recoveries small not be made, as the officials of the Pension Issue Office state that overpayments are being recovered in all cases at present, and this frequent readjustment of amounts creates much confusion in the minds of pensioners?
§ Sir J. CRAIGMy right hon. Friend will look into this case.
