§ 42. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Pensions Minister whether he is aware that F. P. Storr, late No. 18025, 7th Lincolnshire Regiment, was unable to follow his employment in agriculture for twenty-one weeks owing to the delay in dealing with his artificial leg, which was sent back for repair; and whether he will consider the payment of compensation to Storr in respect of wages lost during this time?
§ Sir A. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWENThe delay in dealing with the repair of Private Storr's artificial limb is regretted. Inquiries show that the Ministry is not wholly responsible for the delay, but my right hon. Friend will consider the payment of allowances in respect of the period of unemployment.
