HC Deb 21 February 1901 vol 89 c676
MR. KEARLEY

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can state the reason why the annuity of £25 per annum usually awarded to the widow of a warrant officer has been denied to the widow of W. Ball, late carpenter, R.N., who died on the 19th July last, and who at the time of his death was in receipt of a warrant officer's pension.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

Mrs. Ball was ineligible for the award of a widow's pension, her husband having been placed on the retired list on account of misconduct.
