HC Deb 05 March 1925 vol 181 c666W
Colonel McDONNELL

asked the Minister of Pensions whether there is any provision under existing regulations, whereby a pension car. be granted to a man while he is undergoing treatment, whose physical disability does not prevent him from working, but who, by reason of the interruptions caused to his work by the necessary visits to doctors, hospitals, etc., cannot obtain employment?

Major TRYON

Provision is made by Article 6 (4) of the Royal Warrant for payment of compensation for working-time lost owing to occasional attendances for out-patient treatment. I may add that it is the aim of the Ministry to arrange, so far as possible, for treatment of this nature to be given at evening clinics where the man can attend after his working hours.
