HC Deb 06 December 1939 vol 355 c688W
Mr. T. Smith

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he will arrange for the publication of the scale or regulations used by the Military Service (Special Allowances) Committee in granting special allowances to service families and dependants?

Sir W. Womersley

The committee has a wide discretion to take into account a very great variety of circumstances and each case is dealt with on its merits. The formulation of scales of grant would be inconsistent with the purpose of the committee.
