§ Mr. GLANVILLEasked the Pensions Minister whether arrangements can be made to give local war pensions committees in London direct self-government and access to the Ministry, seeing that the sub-committees in London are as important as the county committees, who already have direct self-government?
§ Sir J. CRAIGIt would require legislation to make the committees to which the hon. Member refers independent of the London War Pensions Committee, whose scheme of constitution is regulated by Section 2 (2) of the Naval and Military War Pensions Act, 1915, and it does not appear to my right hon. Friend that there exists any sufficient ground for proposing such legislation.
