HC Deb 25 February 1926 vol 192 cc734-5W
Captain FAIRFAX

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the total number of men invalided for tuberculosis in 1924 and in 1925; how many were either pensioned or given final awards; and what was the average figure of the pension or award per head in 1924 and 1925?

Mr. DAVIDSON

The total numbers of men invalided for tuberculosis were

1924 … … 156
1925 … … 217

All men invalided were granted pensions or gratuities according to the scales laid down, but I regret that the average award cannot be stated without considerable research.
