HC Deb 12 January 1894 vol 20 c1458
COLONEL LOCKWOOD

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office if the Government intend to pay for the burial charges of Edward Larman and William Rudkin, who died from the effects of the explosion which lately took place at Waltham Abbey? At the same time, I will ask whether a remission of part of the fees charged for the interment of Edward Larman and William Rudkin, who died from the effects of the late explosion at the Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Factory, was asked for from the Burial Board at Waltham Holy Cross; and if this request was made on the part of the Government?

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (MR. WOODALL,) Hanley

The burial charges of all the men whose death was caused by the accident at the Royal Gunpowder Factory at Waltham Abbey have been paid by the Government. As to the second question, no such request was made on the part of the Government. All the fees have been paid.
