HC Deb 03 February 1948 vol 446 c1626
30. Commander Galbraith

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he has considered and. is now ready to give a decision in the case of Mrs. Sybil Morrick of 28 Springhill Gardens, Glasgow, S.1, widow of No. 14210936, Private Henry Morrick, who died on war service on 21st February, 1944, leaving her with little or no means of support.

Mr. Buchanan

Mrs. Morrick's appeal was disallowed by the Pensions Appeal Tribunal in 1945 and she has sinces asked for her case to be referred to the Special Review Tribunal set up to consider cases settled by the Tribunals before certain High Court decisions had been made. The case is one of considerable difficulty in which there is some doubt, but after giving the claim the closest consideration I have decided to grant the pension.

Commander Galbraith

May I thank the right hon. Gentleman for that reply, and also for the personal consideration he has given to a matter of considerable difficulty?
