§ MR. REGINALD LUCAS (Ports mouth)To ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is able to announce any decision which may have been reached with regard to relieving the Greenwich Hospital Funds in respect of pensions to widows of seamen killed on duty; and, whether he is prepared to consider the possibility of devoting a portion at least of the Patriotic Fund to this purpose.
(Answered by Mr. A. J. Balfour.) I am, afraid I am not yet in a position to announce any decision in this matter, but I hope before long to be able to do so.
