asked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware of the grave dissatisfaction caused by the operation of the Final Awards Regulations as affecting the less seriously disabled man; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter

Mr. ROBERTS:

I am reviewing the administration of the Final Awards Regulations. I know that difficulties have arisen in certain cases, and while I am not prepared at present to make a general announcement, I hope shortly to be able to arrive at a satisfactory solution of the problems involved.

Minister

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.
