HC Deb 02 March 1936 vol 309 cc1020-1W
Mr. MABANE

asked the Minister of Pensions whether, for the purpose of his Estimates, the expectation of life of war pensioners is calculated according to a normal table or on a table which gives to war pensioners an expectation of life shorter than the normal?

Mr. HUDSON

The mortality rate of disabled pensioners is and will for some years to come be greater than the normal and in framing the Estimates of the Ministry of Pensions this and all other relevant factors are taken into account?
