§ Mr. GRIFFITHSasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that George Howard, greaser, s.s. "Calonne," of the Walford Line, allowed his mother £1 per week during his service up to the date of his death; that his mother has received no compensation although she was dependent upon her son; and whether he will make inquiries into this case?
§ Sir A. GEDDESI have been asked to answer this question. As this man's death is reported to have been due to natural causes, there would not appear to be any claim to compensation either under the Workmen's Compensation Act or under the War Risks Compensation Scheme.
