§ Mr. Dobbieasked the Minister of Pensions whether he will take such steps as are needful to recommend an alteration in the conditions under which M.S.A.C. grants are made to dependants of His Majesty's Forces and to substitute a personal means test in place of a household means test as at present operated?
§ Sir W. WomersleyThis matter is already under consideration in conjunction with the Service Departments.
§ Mr. Dobbieasked the Minister of Pensions whether it is the practice of the Ministry to inform recipients of M.S.A.C. grants at all times when such grants are brought to an end?
§ Sir W. WomersleyWar Service Grants may take the form of lump sums, or they may be expressly notified as current only for specified periods; and in either of these cases no further notification is needed or given when the authorised payment has been made. Otherwise, it is the practice to notify recipients if it is found necessary to vary a grant or to terminate it.
