HC Deb 26 July 1900 vol 86 c1309
DR. TANNER

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if the promise to inquire into the case of James Quinlan, who mot with an accident when working in Woolwich Arsenal in 1881, will be redeemed; whether he is aware that Quinlan is at present in hospital, and has never recovered from the injuries indicted while at Government work; whether medical certificates proving the injuries Quinlan suffered from will be taken into account, and whether he can state why his pension has not been granted and his sick pay never given; and whether the case will be thoroughly inquired into and substantial compensation awarded Quinlan.

* MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

A promise was given to inquire further into the case, provided sufficient details were supplied to enable it to be identified. The honourable Member has not yet supplied the necessary information. If he will do so, I shall be happy to have the case thoroughly considered.

DR. TANNER

What information does the hon. Gentleman want?

* MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

The part of the factory in which he was employed, and the date on which he entered the service.

DR. TANNER

Why did not the hon. Gentleman tell me that three months ago?
