HC Deb 01 April 1930 vol 237 cc1094-5W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Minister of Pensions if he will state, with the object of clearing up misconceptions, whether the Government have abandoned the seven years' limit without reservation?

Mr. F. O. ROBERTS

I would refer the hon. Member to the full statement which I made on 18th November last, outlining the new arrangements for dealing with fresh claims for disablement by Great War service, in which I stated without reservation that "these arrangements will effectively secure that no bar is raised to the making or consideration of a claim."
