asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware of the numerous complaints with reference to the delay in the issue of pensions to wounded men and to the dependents of those who gave up their lives in the service of their country since 1916?
PRIVATE NOTICE QUESTION. - PENSIONS TO WOUNDED MEN.
I have received some complaints regarding delays in issuing those pensions. The machinery for dealing with claims is now in full working order, a number of assessments have been made, and payments will begin forthwith.
