HC Deb 24 June 1941 vol 372 cc960-1W
Captain J. Dugdale

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware of the hardship suffered by dependants of men killed during their service in His Majesty's Forces by the rule stating that pension is only payable if the man was actually on duty at the time he was killed; and has he now decided what action to take to remove this hardship?

Sir W. Womersley

The question of injuries sustained when not on duty is under consideration in consultation with my Central Advisory Committee.
