HC Deb 26 March 1925 vol 182 c595
4. Sir WALTER de FRECE

asked the Minister of Pensions whether, seeing that the voluntary funds at the disposal of the Ministry are only available for grants to members of the pensioner community, he will say whether there are any compassionate grants in existence which can be used for the benefit of widows and others who do not belong to this community?

Lieut.-Colonel STANLEY

There are no funds at the disposal of my right hon. Friend available for the assistance of cases in which death or disablement is found by the Ministry not to have been caused or worsened by Wilt service.
