HC Deb 12 November 1929 vol 231 cc1717-8
51. Mr. FOOT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total amount paid by the Treasury to date in respect of the pension granted to the heirs and successors of Lord Nelson?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

£5,000 per annum from the 21st October, 1805, to the present date.

Mr. COCKS

Can the hon. Gentleman say whether any of these gentlemen are direct descendants of Lord Nelson?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I am afraid I must ask for notice of that question.
