HC Deb 30 July 1923 vol 167 c1056W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Minister of Pensions if he is aware that Peter James Walters, late private, No. 513,652, Labour Corps, was examined whilst in prison and awarded a final weekly allowance which he never received; and whether he will now pay to the man the money awarded him and withheld while he was in prison?

Major TRYON

Compensation, which would otherwise have been payable by my Department, is forfeited during imprisonment. The balance due under the award referred to was paid to this man on his discharge from prison.
