HC Deb 13 March 1924 vol 170 cc2570-1W
Mr. B. SMITH

asked the Minister of Pensions whether his attention has been drawn to the hardship inflicted on men in receipt of treatment and unable to work in consequence of disabilities due to or aggravated by war service who are not in receipt of treatment allowances; and whether it is proposed to amend Circular 204 and thus make provision that whether on home treatment or panel doctor treatment a man who is totally unable to work by reason of his war disability shall receive treatment allowances?

Mr. ROBERTS

The suggestion made by my hon. Friend would require an amendment of long-standing provisions of the Warrant, and not merely of the terms of the Circular referred to, which drew attention to those provisions.
