§ 94. Sir W. de FRECEasked the Minister of Pensions whether many ex-officers and men who went out to the tropical parts of the British Empire to 1880 seek their livelihood are being sent home or are returning home suffering from the effects of shell-shock which apparently manifests itself seriously in hot climates; whether many of these men are now seriously embarrassed financially; and whether he will give instructions that all such cases are to be dealt with as expeditiously and sympathetically as possible?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am not aware of the circumstances referred to in the first part of the question, but special consideration is given to all cases in which there is urgency in order that there may be no delay in providing whatever benefits are admissible under the Royal Warrant. If my hon. Friend has any particular case in mind I shall be glad to investigate it.
