Mr. ALFRED DAVIESasked the Minister of Pensions whether he proposes to make any further changes in the issue of treatment allowances to disabled men or their dependants; and whether he will agree to lay upon the Table of the House all future proposals for varying the conditions under which pensions or allowances may be claimed before such changes take effect?
§ Major TRYONThe payment of allowances under Article 6 of the Royal Warrant is subject to the conditions determined by the Minister of Pensions, and the conditions laid down are fully set out in the Regulations published from time to time. I am afraid that my right hon. Friend is not prepared to give such an undertaking as that suggested, which could not be carried out without serious delay in the work of the Department.
