Mr James Hudson
, Huddersfield
asked the Minister of Health whether pensions payable to dependants, other than widows, children, or parents, under Article 22 of the Royal Warrant of 1922 and the corresponding Order in Council affecting the Navy, will be taken into consideration when the recipients become eligible for pension under the Widows', Orphans', and Old Age Contributory Pensions Bill?
Mr. CHAMBERLAIN:
The reference to Article 22 of the Royal Warrant of 1922 is not understood. Pensions to the dependants of men who served in the Navy are given under the Order in Council dated 7th November, 1924, and, if the question relates to persons entitled under Article 27 of that Order, the answer is in the negative.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
