HC Deb 17 February 1915 vol 69 cc1147-8W
Mr. SAMUEL ROBERTS

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the category of soldiers' and sailors' dependants can be extended so as to include the case of an aunt whose nephew has lived with her for a long period and has made her an allowance weekly of 20s. out of his 30s. wage, and is now willing to make his allotment?

Mr. BAKER

The War Office is adopting the definition of dependant recommended by the Select Committee, which will cover such a case.
