§ 6. Mr. KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the wife and family of Sapper F. Davey, No. 190349, No. 260 Railway Company, Royal Engineers, are being threatened with eviction from their house at Royal Oake, Oake, Somerset; that this woman and her children were, in March, 1917, turned out of their home at Hillfarrance, Somerset, and that F. Davey is now suffering from shell-shock; and whether, to protect this family and to relieve the mind and hasten the recovery of this soldier, he will take steps to prevent the disturbance of the family?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am afraid that the War Office have no power in such a case as this. The matter is one to be determined by a Court of Law. I understand, however, that the general question is now being considered by my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary.
