§ Major ADAMasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether Mrs. A. Bryant, of 23, Neathfield Terrace, Plumstead Common, may receive a bonus due to her late husband, who died in Government service?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEIn the absence of details I cannot say whether Mrs. Bryant is entitled to any Grant from public funds. If she is, her case will doubtless be put forward by the Department in which Mr. Bryant was employed. In this connection I may perhaps refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for South Islington on the 20th ultimo.
§ Major ADAMWill the right hon. Gentleman make inquiries in this case?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSENo, Sir. It is not my business to make inquiries. The Department concerned dealt with the matter.
