HC Deb 06 March 1885 vol 295 cc287-8
SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, If he can state when the Admiralty will come to a decision on the subject of granting a compassionate allowance to the orphans of Warrant Officers in the Royal Navy?

MR. CAINE

(who replied) said: In dealing with the question of the grant of compassionate allowances to the children of Warrant Officers of the Navy who lose their lives in the service of the Crown, the Admiralty have thought it expedient to consult the Secretary of State for War, similar claims being under consideration in the Army. I trust that an early decision will be arrived at.
