§ Mr. WILESasked the Secretary to the Treasury if he will state whether the Treasury has power to grant a compassionate allowance to the family of an unestablished servant of the Government, should such servant meet death from natural causes during his employment?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI assume that the hon. Member's question relates only to cases in which there is no element of injury or accident. In cases where these elements are absent the Treasury, under the existing law, has no power to make any grant to the family of an unestablished Civil servant.
