HC Deb 13 March 1922 vol 151 c1796W
Mr. G. BARNES

asked the Home Secretary if the case for compensation of Mrs. McNeil, widow of Horace McNeil, shot at Hammersmith by Sinn Fein gunmen, has been considered by the Government, and with what result?

Mr. SHORTT

This case has been carefully considered, but I am sorry to say His Majesty's Government are unable to make any compensation from public funds to Mr. McNeil's widow.
