Captain HUDSONasked the Minister of Pensions how many ex-service men are now in the Star and Garter Home for Disabled Soldiers and Sailors suffering from encephalitis lethargica; how many are receiving pensions on account of this disease; and how many wives of such men are receiving allowances?
§ Major TRYONThis institution is not under my control, and I am not therefore in a position to furnish the desired information, except as regards those cases for whose treatment in the institution my Department is responsible. Three such cases suffering from the disease referred to are being maintained in the home at the cost of the Ministry. In each case the usual treatment allowances are being paid in lieu of pension.
