HC Deb 12 April 1922 vol 153 cc427-8W
Sir T. BRAMSDON

asked the Minister of Pensions whether, since the decision of attributability or aggravation of dis- ability by War service, in the cases of post-War naval invalids, is now a matter for the Admiralty, he will, in view of the recent termination of the Great War, recommend that all cases of invaliding for the next 12 months, at least, shall be automatically reviewed by his Department?

Major BARNSTON

My right hon. Friend regrets that he is unable to accede to the hon. Member's request. Arrangements have been made under which the origin of the man's disability will be enquired into by Naval medical boards, and when the man claims that his condition is due to service in the Great War his case will be considered by the Ministry of Pensions.
