HC Deb 25 March 1957 vol 567 c81W
75. Mr. Simmons

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether the recently-announced award of an ageing allowance to war pensioners with a disability of 40 per cent. and over applies to personnel of the Mercantile Marine and to civilian war disabled, including civil defence personnel.

Mr. Wood

Yes, so far as all the schemes for which my right hon. Friend is responsible are concerned, including those covering merchant seamen and civilians.
