Retired Servicemen (Pensions)

HC Deb 13 March 1969 vol 779 c348W

Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the Secretary of State for Defence why there has been a delay in increasing the pensions of retired Servicemen.

Mr. Reynolds

I am not aware of any delay in increasing the pensions of retired Servicemen. If the hon. Gentleman is referring to the increases resulting from the Pensions Increase measure, these do not become due until 1st April, 1969.
