HC Deb 05 March 1919 vol 113 c426W
Sir HENRY HARRIS

asked the Pensions Minister whether the maximum grant which a local war pensions committee can make in respect of the funeral of a discharged disabled man, whose death is attributable to his war service, is £5; whether he is aware that at the present time it is not possible to arrange for a funeral in London at so small a cost as £5; and whether he will give the local war pensions committee discretionary powers to make a larger grant in cases where it will otherwise be necessary to have recourse to the guardians?

Sir J. CRAIG

This matter is still under consideration.
