§ Mr. Hutchinsonasked the Minister of Pensions (1) what proportion of the families of service men resident within the 1507W London Civil Defence Region are in receipt of war service grants;
(2) how many of the 427,000 families of service men stated to be in receipt of war service grants on l0th September, 1942, were resident within the London Civil Defence Region.
§ Sir W. WomersleyI have no information as to the number of families of service men resident within the London Civil Defence Region, neither have I exact figures of the number of war service grants being paid to the families of service men now resident in that region. A recent estimate, however, of the number of recipients of war service grants in the London Civil Defence Region is 100,000.
