§ 31. Mr. KINGasked the Minister of Munitions whether he is aware that J. W. Hulin, of 2, Heywood Terrace, Pill, Somerset, was an Army Reserve munition worker, and, though graded C 1, sent to work seven days a week in a Lincolnshire iron mine, walking two and a half miles night and morning to and from work, till after eight months' work he completely broke down; that J. W. Hulin has since then suffered from disseminated sclerosis, is a helpless cripple, without means, with a dependent wife and child, and has received no pension nor compensation for this work resulting in his physical ruin; and whether he will make a suitable allowance in this case?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYNo representations whatever as to this workman's health or the difficult circumstances under which he is stated to have been working reached the Ministry of Munitions until a few days ago.
