HC Deb 27 March 1928 vol 162 c292W
Mr. BARKER

asked the Minister of Pensions the number of cases of officers heard before the appeal tribunals during the two years ending 31st December, 1922; the number of cases of non-commissioned officers and the number of cases of privates heard before the appeal tribunals during the same period: and the number of successful appeals in each rank per cent.?

Major TRYON

Approximately 1,400 appeals by officers and 70,000 appeals by other ranks were decided by the Entitlement Tribunal during the period mentioned. The percentages of these appeals allowed were 48 and 26 respectively. The form in which the records of my Department are kept do not enable me to give the figures for non-commissioned officers and privates separately.
