HC Deb 06 August 1919 vol 119 cc386-7W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Lieut. George William Benson, financial advisers staff, who is at present a patient at Latchmere, Ham Common, suffering from mental trouble due to his service in France, has received no payment since his three months' sick leave pay terminated on 30th December, 1918, thereby placing his wife and three infant children in a very destitute position; and what assistance the Government are prepared to render Lieut. Benson's family during his present total disablement?

Mr. FORSTER

I am making inquiry in this case, and will write to my Noble Friend as soon as I am in a position to do so.
