§ Squadron-Leader Erringtonasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware there is considerable delay before air-raid wardens, who are injured on duty, receive any grant in respect of their injury, and that they are in many cases without funds; and whether he will institute a system by which there is no hold-up of such payments?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonAs I announced recently, the period during which A.R.P. workers injured on duty continue to receive full pay is being materially extended and any occasional hardship which may have occurred in the past should no longer arise. The related question of payments under the Personal Injuries (Civilian) scheme is, of course, a matter for my hon. Friend the Minister of Pensions.
