§ 29. Major COLVILLE (for Captain GUNSTON)asked the Minister of Labour if she is aware that the maintenance allowance paid to Mr. Worlock, of Kingswood, near Bristol, on account of his housekeeper, has now been stopped on the ground that Mr. Worlock's son is now aged 20; that the son is suffering from arrested growth and has remained a child all his life, and that the case is incurable and the child must have attention day and night; and will she reconsider the case?
§ Miss BONDFIELDThe conditions under which these allowances may be given are fixed by Statute and are not within my control. The case referred to was submitted to the Umpire, and I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy of his decision.
