HC Deb 25 February 1947 vol 433 cc270-1W
104. Mr. Medlicott

asked the Minister of Pensions how many ex-Servicemen of the 1914-18 and 1939-45 wars, who are in receipt of 100 per cent. disability pension of 45s. a week, are receiving that sum only, without any of the permitted additional allowances.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

At 30th September last there were in payment to ex-Servicemen of the 1914 and 1939 wars about 715,000 disablement pensions, of which about 47,000 were at the 100 per cent rate. In about 13,750 of these latter cases the pensioner was receiving 45s. a week.
