HC Deb 01 October 1924 vol 177 cc147-8W
Sir R. ASKE

asked the Minister of Pensions whether, in view of the resolution of the advisory council of the north-east area of the Ministry at a meeting on the 5th September, 1924, over which he presided, he proposes to introduce any measure to abolish the time limit for appeals?

Mr. ROBERTS

I have within the last few days received the resolution referred to, along with a number of other resolutions constituted by regional advisory councils on a variety of matters affecting pensions administration. Without full consideration, both of this and the other resolutions (which I have not yet had the opportunity of giving to them), I fear that I cannot at present say what action it will be found possible or desirable to take.
