§ Sir MONTAGUE BARLOWasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can now see his way to paying the 20 per cent. bonus on pensions and allowances payable under the Injuries in War Compensation Act in the same way as the bonuses payable under the Royal Warrant and Orders in Council for pensions to petty officers and men of the Navy?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe Treasury are in communication with the Departments concerned with regard to a modification of the existing rates with the special object of improving the rates of children's allowances, but I do not think it necessary to grant a general increase of 20 per cent.
