§ Mr. BOTTOMLEYasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the sad condition of Mr. H. W. 25 Cox, an inventor of and experimenter with apparatus for the application of the X-rays in surgical operations; and whether he will consider the question of advising the grant of a pension from the Civil List?
§ The PRIME MINISTERA substantial grant from the Royal Bounty Fund was awarded in the case referred to last April.
§ Mr. BOWERMANIn view of the fact that since the grant was made another operation has been performed, involving, I believe, the amputation of an arm, may I ask whether the Prime Minister will give the amount of the grant further consideration?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI will give the most careful consideration to any representation that may be made.
