§ Captain GEEasked the Secretary of State for War whether there are any pre-War Army pensioners whose pensions have not yet been reassessed; if so, how many; and what would be the aggregate cost to bring these pre-War pensioners into line with those whose pensions have already been reassessed?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON - EVANSExact figures are not available, but it is estimated that there are about 19,000 pre-War Army pensioners who, not having given further service in the Great War, are not entitled to have their pensions1136W reassessed on the post-War scale. Of these, however, a large proportion have had their pensions increased under the provisions of the Pensions Increase Acts of 1920 and 1924, and a special investigation in detail would be required to ascertain the cost of the proposal in the last part of the question.
