HC Deb 03 March 1919 vol 113 cc53-4W
Mr. T. WILSON

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the parent of a soldier that is killed is entitled to the war gratuity of £5, and the allowance of 10s. or 5s. per month for each month, after six months' service?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Any war gratuity admissible forms part of a deceased soldier's estate, and as such is payable to the persons legally entitled to receive, or to share in, the estate.
