§ 32. Mr. CADOGANasked the Minister of Pensions whether his attention has been drawn to the case of Miss Ethel M. Hurley, an orphan, formerly dependent upon her two brothers, who supported her out of their Army pay until they were both killed in action, and who is now existing on the charity of a community of nuns and is liable to be discharged at any time and to become destitute; and whether he will see his way to grant her a pension under Article 22 (i) of the Royal Warrant of 1919, as 913 amended by Article 3 of the Amending Royal Warrant of 1923, in consideration of the fact that Miss Hurley was a person eligible for a separation allowance and is in need, and absolutely incapable of self-support?
§ Mr. PARKINSONA claim under Article 22 (i) can only be admitted if it is established that the claimant was dependent upon the soldier before the War or before his enlistment if later; that separation allowance was paid by and on behalf of the deceased soldier or that the claimant was eligible for such allowance; and that incapacity for self-support and pecuniary need existed at the time of the death of the soldier. As these conditions are not shown to have been fulfilled at the time of the soldier's death it is regretted that Miss Hurley is not eligible for an award of pension.
