WAR PENSIONS IN BRITAIN
NO OUTS IN GRANTS R.FJPLY BY MINISTER (Britisti Official Wireless.) ' RUGBY, April 26. Asked in the- House of Commons if, in view of the improved, finances, more generous consideration could be given to applicants for war disability pensions, Major G. O. Tryon, Pensions Minister, said it would be generally agreed that, no grounds existed for any suggestion that pensions had been ungenerous.
In Britain, despite the recent severe depression which, necessitated reductions in public expenditure, no cuts whatever were made in grants for war pensions and allowances, nor had the principle of their administration been affected, whereas other countries had made considerable reductions.
