HC Deb 12 April 1922 vol 153 c442W
Mr. NAYLOR

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury on what grounds compensation was refused to Miss Ellen Ringsell, who was injured in an air-raid explosion in a Southwark factory in 1917 and who is still incapacitated from following her employment; and whether further inquiries will be made with a view to avoiding a possible miscarriage of justice 1

Mr. YOUNG

Since the air raid in question, which took place in June, 1917, Miss Ringsell has for long periods earned in regular employment more than she earned before the raid. The case has been investigated repeatedly and has not been found one suitable for assistance from the Vote for the Ministry of Health. I see no sufficient reason for re-opening the decision.
