HC Deb 28 December 1919 vol 123 cc1277-8W
Mr. MOSLEY

asked the Pensions Minister whether he is aware that ap- proximately fifty discharged men resident in Wealdstone. Middlesex, have not received their pensions for a month, owing to the failure of the pensions issuing office to supplement their pension allowance draft books upon completion; and whether he will direct that these arrears be made good before Christmas, in view of the infinite hardship caused to the men concerned by this deprivation?

Sir J. CRAIG

I am not aware of the fact stated, but I will have immediate inquiry made of the local war pensions committee who, in such circumstances, can possibly assist men by making recoverable advances.
