HC Deb 30 April 1923 vol 163 c987W
Mr. A. BENNETT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Government contemplates increases in the scale of pre-War pensions by an extension of the operation of the 1920 Act to enable pensioners who are, from one valid cause or another, just debarred from benefiting by it to be brought within its scope?

Major BOYD-CARPENTER

Without knowing what cases precisely the hon. Member has in mind, I fear I cannot answer this question. Generally speaking, what the Government contemplates is simply an alteration of the scales of increase.
