Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether war pensions are part of the welfare budget; and if not, in which departmental budget they lie.
War Pensions sat within the Ministry of Defence's Annual Managed Expenditure budget since June 2001, when the War Pensions Agency transferred to the Ministry of Defence. As announced in the 2014 Budget, the Government will move War Pensions out of Annual Managed Expenditure for future years.
