§ Colonel ASHLEYasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is now in a position to announce that the disablement pensions of warrant officers and non-commissioned officers in receipt of Service pensions, shall be at the rates appropriate for their ranks?
§ Sir J. CRAIGI am not able to make any announcement such as my hon. and gallant Friend desires. The question of the extent to which disablement and Service pensions can be held concurrently is being reconsidered in view of the recent simultaneous increases in both classes of pensions on the ground of increase in the cost of living.
