HC Deb 12 December 1922 vol 159 c2611W
Mr. McENTEE

asked the Minister of Pensions the number of appeals that have been dealt with by the final Appeals Tribunals in the United Kingdom; the number of such appeals that have been decided in favour of the appellant; and the number of appeals which have been decided against the appellant?

Major TRYON

I assume that the hon. Member is referring to the Pensions Appeal Tribunals constituted in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 (3) of the War Pensions Act, 1921. These tribunals have already decided some 9,500 appeals, of which about 5,800 have been disallowed.
