HC Deb 13 July 1944 vol 401 cc1906-7W
Colonel Carver

asked the Minister of Health how many people are in receipt of pensions in respect of injury sustained during the 1914–18 war; and whether he will consider increasing such pensions of these people in order to bring them up to the same rates as those now obtaining in respect of people injured in air-raids in this war.

Mr. Willink

Of theex gratia awards in respect of personal injuries caused by air raids in the last war 33 are still being paid in the form of pensions. I cannot undertake to reconsider the amounts of these pensions at the present date.
