HC Deb 26 February 1924 vol 170 cc234-5
40. Mr. LUMLEY

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that F. Kay, late sergeant, No. 4,334,364, 1st Battalion East Yorks Regiment, was discharged with tuberculosis after 10 years' service, including war service, and that his disability is said by the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, to be neither due to nor aggravated by his service; that he has no appeal from this award; and will he endeavour to secure a reconsideration of the award either by the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, or, in view of his war service, by the Ministry of Pensions?

Mr. WALSH

The case to which the hon. Member refers has been brought to my notice. If Mr. Kay wishes to appeal to the Chelsea Commissioners for reconsideration, he should forward to the Secretary of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, a statement of the grounds on which his appeal is based, with particulars, where possible, of dates and places.
