Captain TERRELLasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that Mr. Horace S. Myers, 12, Marlborough Place, N.W.8, was granted a pension at Class IV rate on 26th February, 1918, which was continued until 22nd February, 1922, when he was informed that he was only entitled to a pension at Class V rate, and that deductions of 5s. weekly are now being made in order to recover the excess paid during the four years; and whether he is prepared to consider some means of mitigating the hardship to the pensioner owing to the mistake of the Department?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONIn view of all the circumstances, I have decided to waive further recovery of the overissue in this case.
