§ Mr. MANDERasked the Minister of Pensions whether he will give further consideration to the question of granting a total disability pension to Mr. M. F. York, of Wolverhampton, who claims to be suffering from heart disease as a result of active service in the war, during which period he was gassed, who states that he never had rheumatic fever, was passed fit on joining up, attained the high standard of physique required as a physical training and gymnasium instructor but has been getting steadily worse, and is now totally unfit?
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMAll the facts in this case have been very fully reviewed in consultation with my medical advisers, but I regret that, for the reasons already explained at some length to the hon. Member, it cannot be certified the life pension at the 40 per cent. rate granted to Mr. York in 1922 is other than adequate to the disablement arising from the effects of his war service.
