HC Deb 08 March 1927 vol 203 c1017
12. Mr. BECKETT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether General Frank Sutton is in receipt of any form of payment or pension from the British Government?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY of the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Lieut.-Colonel Stanley)

I have been asked to answer this question. There is no officer recorded in my Department as General Frank Sutton, but if (as I understand from my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War) the question relates to Lieutenant Francis Arthur Sutton, late Royal Engineers, this officer was wounded in Gallipoli. An award in respect of his wounds was made to him on retirement, and is still in force. I am informed, however, that no payment has been drawn since 30th September, 1925.
