HC Deb 28 July 1925 vol 187 cc237-8
39. Major Sir GRANVILLE WHELER

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the fact that the costs of the action in the Law Courts which Mr. W. S. Harnett has had to defend have left him a ruined man financially, he is prepared to recommend that compensation be granted to him?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Sir Kingsley Wood)

I have been asked to reply. I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply to a similar question by the Noble Lord the Member for South Nottingham (Lord Henry Cavendish-Bentinck) on 2nd July. But I may add that Mr. Harnett was the plaintiff.
