The Government will give careful

of the War Pensions Act 1954, Veterans Affairs Minister

“The Law Commission’s report contains 170 recommendations and these will need careful consideration from the Government.
“I wish to thank the Rt Hon Sir Geoffrey Palmer for his personal commitment to this review.”
