§ Colonel BURTONasked the Minister of Pensions whether his attention has been called to the case of Mr. B. Hammond, Aldham Road, Hadleigh, whose medical attendant, at the special request of the Ministry, gave a report upon the condition of this man and certified that his disability was caused through War service; and whether, seeing that the Ministry has since been informed that unless something is done for the man the question of a pension may be solved by the man's death, he will cause immediate action to be taken with a view to avoiding this probability?
