HC Deb 08 May 1919 vol 115 c1073
15. Mr. LUNN

asked the Pensions Minister if he is aware that the West Riding War Pensions Committee have more than 100 men waiting for convalescent treatment and of the inability of the committee to find vacancies for these men in existing convalescent homes; and what practical suggestions have the Ministry to offer, so that these men may have an opportunity of being restored to health?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The information I have suggests that the fullest use has not yet been made of the accommodation available. The West Riding Committee have been informed that there is accommodation to be had at the Royal Northern Sea Bathing Infirmary, Scarborough, and arrangements are also being made for the reception of fifty cases at the Red Cross Hospital at Saltburn, and this additional accommodation will, I hope, be found sufficient.
