53. Mr. HORE-BLEISHA)asked the Secretary of State for Air whether the parents of Leading Aircraftsman R. R. Germain, who lost his life in the air disaster at Hendon in April last, have received a sum of £22 4s.11d. in settlement of the late airman's estate; and whether, since the late airman made an allotment of 10s. 6d. a week to his mother, he will consider awarding her a pension based on the amount that she received weekly from the deceased airman?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Samuel Hoare)The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, if the reference is to an accident at Henlow. As regards the second part, the deceased airman's mother has been sent a form of application for pension for completion and on its return her claim will be fully and sympathetically considered.
