HC Deb 03 July 1916 vol 83 c1226W
Mr. BYRNE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the wife of Sapper James Murphy, No. 46,995, Royal Engineers, killed at Loos, has been awarded 10s. 6d. pension for herself and three children, Ring Paper No. M3,l73; and will he state whether that is the amount payable in such cases, and cause inquiries to be made as to this allowance?

Mr. FORSTER

The pension granted is for the children. It appeared that the soldier was separated from his wife and not supporting her, but the facts are under inquiry.
