HC Deb 13 May 1994 vol 243 c259W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the number of ex-service personnel who fought in either the Falklands or Gulf wars and are now in receipt of a war pension.

Mr. Hague

Records indicate that, of those ex-service personnel who fought in the Falklands conflict and who made claims for a war pension up to June 1991, 104 are now receiving a war disablement pension. No information is held about any who may have claimed since June 1991.

Sixty-five war disablement pensions are in payment to ex-service personnel who fought in the Gulf war.
