HC Deb 21 July 1919 vol 118 cc934-5W
Major CAYZER

asked the Pensions Minister whether, in view of his statement that the Government have decided to increase the pensions officers and men disabled through service in former wars so as to bring them generally to the level of the pensions given for disabilities sustained in the present War, the Government can see their way to extend this decision so as to bring all pre-war Service pensions awarded to officers, naval warrant officers, and men, to the level of the present Service pensions, having regard to the fact that the increased cost of living to-day is the same to all pre-war pensioners whether they are disabled or not?

Mr. FORSTER

I have been asked to reply. I would refere my hon. and gallant Friend to my answer on the 7th instant to the hon. and gallant Member for East Fife.
