§ 108. Mr. SHORTasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that Henry W. Tipperton joined the Navy for a period of 12 years on 10th September, 1917; that he was invalided from the Navy on 4th September, 1918, and discharged from hospital on 18th September, 1916; that his discharge was due to mental trouble; and that he is now an inmate of the Brentwood mental hospital: and will he inquire into the circumstances of his discharge with a view to Tipperton receiving a disability pension?
Captain GRAIGI have been asked to reply. If the man referred to is Henry W. Titterton, about whom the hon. Member asked a question on the 20th March, I would refer him to the answer given on that date. I would add that every assistance would be given his relatives in making a claim on his behalf through the local office.
