§ Mr. F. ROBERTSasked the Minister of Pensions whether there are a large number of ex-service men who have been certified by the local medical referee as unfit to work, and who have afterwards been informed by the district medical commissioner that the National Health Insurance benefit would cover the case; and can he take any steps to order that a man's pension shall not be prejudiced by his contributions to the National Health Insurance Act?
§ Sir J. CRAIGA disablement pension is awarded without reference to contributions levied under the National Health Insurance Acts, and is not reduced because a partially disabled man may be also receiving sickness benefit under those Acts.
