HC Deb 16 February 1933 vol 274 cc1190-1W
Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the Army Council, when amending the Royal Warrant in the immediate future, will consider making provision for special compensation in cases where disablement renders impossible the continuance in civil life of the professions for which the disabled persons had been trained?

Mr. COOPER:

A soldier's disability pension is a standard rate dependent on the degree to which he is incapacitated as compared with a normal healthy man of the same age. It is not proposed to make any change.
