§ Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKEasked the Minister of Pensions whether his attention has been drawn to the case of J. C. Porter, late 203677, private O.B.L.I., at present a patient in Mossley Hill Hospital, Liverpool, who lost his employment with the Birmingham Corporation as a result of his war wounds; that he has been in and out of military hospitals since his discharge from the Service; that treatment allowances have been refused despite the fact that this inability to work is due to his war wounds; and will he consider the payment of treatment allowances or, alternatively, increasing the pension, which at present is only at the rate of 8s. per week?
§ Major TRYON:I am inquiring into this case, and will communicate with my hon. Friend.
