HC Deb 27 November 1922 vol 159 c316W
Mr. PIELOU

asked the Minister of Pensions whether the Government are prepared to treat all ex-service men who have served in His Majesty's Forces and' have been discharged suffering from mental trouble not as pauper lunatics?

Major TRYON

When the mental condition is due to or aggravated by service, the men are cared for at the expense of my Department, either in Ministry Neurological Hospitals or, if the unfortunate disability is of such a nature as to require certification under the Lunacy Laws, in mental asylums on the footing of private patients.

Forward to
