§ Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Minister of Pensions whether, ill view of the increased cost of living, he will consider increasing the pensions and any allowances paid in respect of persons disabled in the war of 1914–1918?
§ Sir W. WomersleyNo, Sir. The cost of living to-day is still considerably lower than that upon which the rates of compensation provided by the Royal Warrant of 1919 and corresponding instruments were based.
