asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many ex-soldiers, ex-sailors, ex-airmen and ex-marines there are who are currently in receipt of a 100 per cent. disability pension where the disability was caused as a result of accidental wounding by a fellow Service man.

I regret that the information requested is not available as the statistics on awards of war disablement pensions do not indicate those cases where the cause of disablement is accidental wounding.
