asked the Minister of Pensions how many men who have served in the present war and have been discharged and granted a pension have since had their pensions reconsidered following medical examination; and how many have had their pensions increased and how many decreased.

I regret that the information asked for by my hon. Friend could not be obtained without a disproportionate expenditure of time and labour.
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.
