HC Deb 29 May 1924 vol 174 c618W
Sir T. BRAMSDON

asked the Minister of Pensions, if he will give instructions for the issue of a comprehensive list of objects for which application for commutation of pension might be made with reasonable hope for the application so made being granted in view of the disparity of the present methods?

Mr. ROBERTS

There is no official list of the kind referred to. Each case is considered on its merits. Provided the applicant is otherwise eligible under the Regulations approved by the Treasury, the conditions for granting the application are that my Department is satisfied that the object in view is definite, that commutation will.be to the, permanent advantage of the man concerned, and that grave hardship would be caused if the application were not granted.
