Sir C. Raw sonasked the Minister of Pensions whether he will further consider the case of Mr. H. Crook, of Alfred Road, Brighton, who was discharged from the Royal Artillery without pension as medically unfit in 1900 after more than 16 years' service, including South Africa, China and Malta, but, after being injured on duty during the Great War, was discharged without pension in 1919 and, at the age of 65, received from the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, a pension of 2s. a week, which was stopped when, after two-and-a-half years' illness, he had to receive 15s. per week from public assistance; and can some more generous provision be made for this old soldier?
