§ 75. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance how many men draw disability pension and in addition one or more of the following benefits namely, constant attendance allowance, most serious cases, unemployability supplement and special hardship; and how many are receiving all these benefits.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI assume that the hon. Member has in mind disablement pensions under the Industrial Injuries scheme. The latest estimates 109W relate to October, 1959, when some 62,000 men were receiving such pensions with one or more of the additional allowances named. It is not possible simultaneously to receive the three allowances mentioned in the hon. Member's Question.
