MAJOR BOWLESI beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office when an answer will be given to the memorial as to pensions sent in by the operatives of the Ordnance Factories in April 1895; and if he will state the reason of such delay?
MR. POWELL-WILLIAMSMay I refer the hon. Member to the reply I made yesterday to the hon. Member for 760 West Newington, to the effect that the inquiry into this matter was still proceeding, but that a Report as regards the operatives under the War Office was expected very shortly?
