§ Mr. MacNEILLasked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been directed to the ease of Patrick Donughey, of Ballintra, county Donegal, who, having served 17 years and 208 days in the Army, of which period 13 years and 156 days were spent in India, from which he was invalided home, took his discharge 977W from the 1st Oxfordshire Light Infantry, 21st Brigade, Regimental P.O. 621; and whether, having regard to the fact that he is in ill-health, which precludes him from working, and in deep poverty, and has, despite his long service, received no pension or gratuity, his case will be favourably considered with a view to some recognition by way of pension?
§ Mr. HALDANEThis man was granted a temporary pension of 8d. a day for 51 months on his discharge. The question of awarding him a further pension shall be considered, and the decision arrived at will be communicated to him.
