asked the Minister of Pensions whether, when applications for war service grants are under consideration, any cognisance is taken by his officers of gratuitous payments from properly organised war relief funds?

In the assessment of war service grants, which are designed to replace, either wholly or in part, losses of income, cognisance is taken of payments from organised relief funds. My right hon. Friend regrets that he would not be justified in differentiating between income from such funds and other regular sources of income.
