HC Deb 18 January 1993 vol 217 c48W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will release all medical records for service men and women for the purposes of pensions appeals.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Disability pensions are the responsibility of the Benefits Agency. Where ex-service personnel make application, medical records are passed to the agency and released to the claimants as necessary for the conduct of the case.
