Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Minister of Pensions (1) the total number of cases in which the pension of a parent of a man killed in the War has been reduced, and the total sum saved consequent on the parent receiving either an old age pension or a widows' pension;

(2) what body or person is responsible for deciding when a need pension to a parent is to be reduced; on what evi dence is the action taken; whether any appeal is allowed before the reduction takes place, and if any local body is consulted?

Mr. F. 0. ROBERTS

The information that my hon. Friend desires on the points raised in both questions was given him in answer to his questions of the 8th and 30th July last. I cannot, I fear, add anything to those answers, of which I am sending him copies.
