§ Mr. ALBERYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can give the numbers of men of the Royal Naval Reserve who obtained their pension awards at a later date than 13th August, 1920, who are merely receiving the same pension as in pre-War days, with no increase to meet the present cost of living; whether any re- 2537W presentations on the subject have been made to him; and whether he is taking any action to improve the circumstances of these pensioners?
Mr. DAVIDSONThe number is 90 approximately, and representations on the subject have been received. As regards the last part of the question, the reply is in the negative.
