HC Deb 01 November 1939 vol 352 c1969W
Mr. A. Edwards

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can assure the House that none of the children of the men lost on the "Courageous" are dependent on charity?

Mr. Churchill

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Colne Valley (Mr. Glenvil Hall) on the 26th October. The arrangements there described should, I think, ensure that there is no need for recourse to charity pending the settlement of pension claims.
