HC Deb 17 October 1944 vol 403 c2230W
Major Digby

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that improvements have been made in the conditions under which pensions are granted to unfit ex-Servicemen of the 1914–18 war and the present war, but that no improvements have been made in conditions for pensions for those ex-Servicemen who served between the two wars; and whether he will remove this anomaly in view of the hardship caused.

Sir J. Grigg

Considerations which apply in war do not necessarily apply in peace, and I regret that I am not prepared to accept my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion. But as he is no doubt aware, the rates of the awards made between the wars have been increased very considerably since the beginning of this war.
