HC Deb 03 May 1923 vol 163 cc1631-2W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Minister of Pensions what is the present position in regard to the disabled officer, Captain Christopher Douglas Thompson, late of the 11th Royal Fusiliers, removed to Brookwood Asylum on 23rd December, 1922; and whether this man's case has been reheard, and with what result?

Major TRYON

This officer's mental trouble has been accepted as attributable to service, and an award at the maximum rate of £210 a year, with effect from 22nd December, 1922, was authorised early last month. Captain Thompson was removed to Bethlem Mental Hospital on the 13th March last, and is receiving treatment there as an officer patient. In view of his condition, payment of retired pay is being made to his mother.
