HC Deb 07 May 1925 vol 183 c1171W
Mr. J. GUEST

asked the Minister of Pensions whether, in view of the shortage of houses and the desire of many disabled men to purchase their houses, he will consider the possibility of making an advance of pension to men who are unable to commute, as their pension is less than 14s. a week on the rates laid down in the Royal Warrant of 1918, so that the men may have sufficient money to make the deposit necessary before a house can be purchased?

Major TRYON

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Lanark (Mr. S. Mitchell) on the 4th May, and of which I am sending him a copy.
