HC Deb 23 July 1912 vol 41 cc963-4
20. Captain FABER

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can recommend that a money Grant be given to the parents of Sergeant-Major Wilson, who was lately kilted during aviation, seeing that they were largely dependent on him for their living?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Harold Baker)

There is no power under Regulations to make such a Grant, but I will consider if I can do anything as a special case when the necessary particulars are available.

Mr. FELL

Do not the circumstances of the case make it very special, the parents of the man being dependent upon him?

Mr. BAKER

That may or may not be so.
