HC Deb 09 June 1920 vol 130 cc407-8
74. Mr. ROBERT YOUNG

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a Miss Dean was employed during 1919 at the Lord Derby War Hospital, Warrington, and met with an accident when alighting from a War Department motor charabanc; that she made a claim for compensation in the correct way and an inquiry was held, which resulted in compensation being refused on the ground that she was not authorised to use the conveyance; and, seeing that she had got such authority by the issue to her of a permit stating that she had permission to travel on the omnibus or charabanc leaving Earlestown at 6.45 a.m. and returning from the hospital at 6.30 p.m., will he make inquiries into her case?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

This claim is being investigated, but the inquiries are not yet complete. I will communicate the result to the hon. Member as quickly as possible.
