§ Mr. DIXONasked the Minister of Pensions (1) the number of claims made under the over-seven-years' arrangement, and the number of claims admitted;
(2) the number of claims made under the over-seven-years' arrangement from the North of Ireland war pensions area, and the number of claims admitted?
§ Mr. F. O. ROBERTSDuring the 18 months which have elapsed since my announcement in 1929, some 25,000 applications have been received, though this figure includes a substantial, but not precisely determined, number of renewed applications. During the same period 1,466 applications have been recognised by the Ministry by way of medical treatment or award of compensation in the form of pension or other pecuniary grant. I have no separate record of the numbers belonging to the North of Ireland which are included in these aggregate figures.
