§ Lieut.-Colonel HURSTasked the Minister of Pensions whether he has now considered the opinion of Dr. Stopford, of Grangethorpe Hospital, Manchester, on the case of Mr. Tuck, 68, Carter Street, Greenheys, Manchester, submitted to him personally on the 23rd July; and whether he will afford any help in this matter?
§ Major TRYONMr. Tuck's claim has been considered by the Pensions Appeal Tribunal and disallowed on the ground that the disability from which he suffers is not attributable to or aggravated by military service. I have no reason to doubt that the full medical evidence was before the Tribunal, and as the decisions of that body arc, by Statute, final, I am precluded from any further consideration602W of this man's claim to pension. I am writing further to my hon. and gallant Friend.
§ Sir A. SPROTasked the Minister of Pensions if he will inquire into the case of Private Hugh Rennie, No. 7,201, late of the Black Watch, now at 8, Lemerbridge Street, Guardbridge, who has had his pension stopped, and who is physically unfit and has a wife and children in very poor circumstances?
§ Major TRYONAfter full consideration of this man's claim to pension it was not found possible to accept his condition as due to or aggravated by his military service, and this decision was confirmed, on appeal, by an Appeal Tribunal. Mr. Rennie is therefore ineligible for any award beyond the final weekly allowance already granted under Article 7 of the Royal Warrant, and which has now expired.
