§ Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Pensions whether he will consider some modification of the definition of "gainfully occupied person" so as to include persons who, were it not for permanent incapacity, would have been gainfully occupied within the meaning of the present scheme?
§ Sir W. WomersleyAs I informed the hon. Member on 12th June last, I should not feel justified in recommending any modification of the Personal Injuries (Civilians) Scheme, 1941, for the further benefit of such persons, or the dependants of such persons, as are not in fact "gainfully occupied" according to the definition laid down under the Personal Injuries (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1939.
