HC Deb 21 February 1924 vol 169 cc1951-2
14. Mr. MURRELL

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that John Webb, No. 61819, Machine Gun Corps, of The Cottage, Battery Lane, Portishead, Somerset, an ex-soldier with 10 years' service, who has suffered from frozen feet, jaundice, malaria, and a wounded foot, and has been pronounced a constitutional wreck and fit for nothing by the medical board, has been refused any pension; and whether he will have the case further inquired into with a view to securing for this man the pension his service and wounds deserve?

Mr. ROBERTS

I am arranging for this man to be examined by a medical board at an early date, and will communicate the result to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
