HC Deb 22 October 1940 vol 365 c940W
Mr. Naylor

asked the Prime Minister whether he will introduce a measure to give to air-raid precautions workers the same pensions, or, if killed, to their dependants, as are given to members of the fighting services?

Sir W. Womersley

Provision is already made in the Personal Injuries (Civilians) Scheme (S.R. & O. 1940, No. 1307) for the award of pension in respect of death or disablement sustained by air-raid precautions workers as a result of war service injuries. As the hon. Member will see from that scheme the rates of pension are those applicable to a private soldier in the Army.
