§ 22. Mr. JACOBSENasked the Pensions Minister if Grants made from the Military Service (Civil Liabilities) Department are terminated upon the death of the grantees; and whether, in view of the hardship involved in many cases, he will consider this matter, with a view to continuing the grants where it is shown that special hardship will occur otherwise?
§ Mr. BARNESThe Regulations already provide that the grants made by the Military Service (Civil Liabilities) Department may be continued after the death of the grantee for twenty-six weeks in the case of men, and for such period as the Department think fit pending the award of a pension or gratuity in the case of officers.
§ Mr. BARNESI believe so.
