HC Deb 07 November 1939 vol 353 c69W
Mr. Ammon

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will consider augmenting the pensions of civil servants, particularly those in receipt of small pensions, to meet the increased cost of living, as was done during the war years 1914–18?

Captain Crookshank

His Majesty's Government are not prepared to take such action, which would require legislation.
