HC Deb 26 March 1936 vol 310 cc1426-7W
Mr. ANDERSON

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction that exists amongst ex-service men who have completed 21 years' service owing to the fact that when unemployed and on transitional benefit payments the whole of these men's pensions are taken into account when assessing means; and will he take steps to abolish this practice?

Mr. E. BROWN

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Morpeth (Mr. R. J. Taylor) on 27th February, 1936.
