Dr. DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for War if there has been any increase in recent months in the per- 535W centage of cases of tuberculosis which have been granted pensions on account of attributability to the conditions of service?
§ Mr. SHAWThe latest figures available are those for 1929. These, compared with the figures for 1928, show a slight decrease of some 2 per cent. in the number of cases of tuberculosis in which pensions have been granted on account of attributability to the Service.
