Mr. W. A. JENKINSasked the Minister of Pensions if he is aware that certain concessions have recently been made with regard to the final awards of ex-service men; and, as a large number of ex-service men are, on account of technicalities, experiencing much difficulty in getting their cases properly inquired into and are suffering injustice, will he take steps to repeal the Final Awards Act?
Mr. MUIRGeneral instructions providing for an improved procedure for the correction of awards which are found to have been erroneously declared final, have only been issued within the last few weeks, and further experience is, in the opinion of my right hon. Friend, necessary before it can be determined that any modification of them is required.
