§ 5. Major M. WOODasked the Minister of Pensions whether he had any additional evidence of death being due to alcoholic excess in W case, No. 10646, Royal Engineers, beyond the fact, disclosed by the post-mortem examination, that the organs smelt of alcohol; and, if so, whether he will state the nature and source of such evidence?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI regret that I have, nothing to add to the answer I gave my hon. and gallant Friend regarding this case on the 6th July, except to refer him for additional facts to the letter sent to him by the Scottish Regional Director on 17th November, 1920.
§ Major WOODIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that there are additional facts given there?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI read the letter this morning, and if my hon. and gallant Friend will care to come to see me, I will show him one very important addition.
§ Major WOODMay I have a copy of it?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONYes, certainly.
