HC Deb 19 June 1935 vol 303 c368
52. Mr. GUY (for Mr. MILNE)

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he will reconsider the case of Mr. James Adam, Cardenden, Fife, whose disability has materially increased since 1932, when an award was made to him by the Ministry, and who accepted the award in ignorance of the fact that metallic fragments were present in his leg, a fact which was then known to the Ministry but was not disclosed to Mr. Adam?

The MINISTER of PENSIONS (Mr. R. S. Hudson)

I find that this case has been repeatedly considered by my predecessor and that no ground could be found for the award of any further compensation.

Mr. GUY

Does the hon. Member consider that an award of £150 to a man who is now unfit to carry out his work is an adequate award?
