HC Deb 21 February 1893 vol 9 c39
CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the recommendations of the coroner's jury in the case of William Chute, who lost his life while in Government employment at Haulbowline Docks on the 9th instant, the Department will take into their kind consideration the helpless and destitute condition of his widow and five orphan children?

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. EDMUND ROBERTSON,) Dundee

The necessary steps will be taken to represent the case to the Treasury, the award of compensation resting with that Department.
