asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is now in a position to make any statement concerning the scales of the pre-War disability pensioners?

The details of these new scales have now been settled and they will be promulgated almost immediately.

Can the hon. and gallant Gentleman give me the exact date when the statement will be issued, because he will remember that I have asked this question over and over again for the last 12 months?

I said "almost immediately." I will let my hon. Friend have a copy as soon as I can.

Thank you very much. You will understand my anxiety.
