§ 7. Colonel YATEasked what proportion of the joint annuity of £300 granted to the widow and sister-in-law of the late Dr. Wilson, who perished in the Scott Antarctic Expedition, has been allotted to the widow and what to the sister-in-law; and whether the Secretary of State for India will consider the question of granting the same allowance to each sister of Lieutenant Bowers as has been granted to the sister-in-law of Dr. Wilson?
§ Mr. MONTAGUI cannot answer the first part of the question, for my Department was not concerned with the annuities to Dr. Wilson's dependants. As regards the latter part of the question, I must refer the hon. and gallant Member to my reply to his question on 3rd June.
§ Colonel YATECould the right hon. Gentleman not ascertain from the documents what sum was allotted to the widow and the sister-in-law of Dr. Wilson?
§ Mr. MONTAGUI think that it would be more usual for the hon. Member to address his question to the office concerned.
§ Colonel YATEWhich is the office concerned?
