HC Deb 26 June 1947 vol 439 cc91-2W
Mr. Usborne

asked the Minister of Pensions what number of men discharged from the Forces since June, 1945, suffer- ing from tuberculosis, have since had their pensions reduced.

Mr. J. Hynd

I regret that the information required could be obtained only by the expenditure of a disproportionate amount of time and labour on the scrutiny of some 13,000 cases, including released cases and post-discharge claims as well as invalided cases, in which awards have been made in respect of tuberculosis since June, 1945.
