HC Deb 07 June 1917 vol 94 cc336-7
109. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Minister of Pensions how the case of Mrs. Growden is proceeding; is he aware that the facts in this case were brought to the notice of the Admiralty as far back as the 29th January and forwarded to the Ministry of Pensions on the 17th March; and will he use every effort possible to expedite the matter?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Sir A. Griffith-Boscawen)

The case referred to by the hon. Member has been a difficult one to investigate, but it has now been decided to give Mrs. Growden a pension under Article 17 of the new Order in Council of 12s. 6d. a week.
