§ 40. Sir J. D. REESasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that Engineer Commander Moore, of Submarine E 5, left a mother in receipt of a small pension as a widow of a naval officer and a sister in receipt of a small allowance from the Admiralty, in the service of which she lost her health; that mother and sister were helped by the late engineer commander, who lost his life in the explosion on the submarine; that, though Miss Moore does not fulfil all the requirements of Article 2005 (a), her position is wholly exceptional and deserving of sympathetic treatment; and whether the Government can make her any grant under these circumstances?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAMrs. Moore has a pension from the Admiralty of £90 a year, and Miss Moore an annual allowance of £16. The question of an additional grant to Miss Moore or Mrs. Moore is receiving attention.
