HC Deb 16 March 1916 vol 80 c2276W
Mr. ANDERSON

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether his attention has been directed to a reply given by Captain Bax, the military representative at the Staines Tribunal, in dealing with the case of the only son of a widow; whether he is aware that, in reply to the chairman of the tribunal, Captain Bax said that in the event of the son getting killed the mother would get nothing; and whether that reply accurately states the present position?

Mr. TENNANT

I am making inquiries into this case. The statement attributed to the military representative would not be accurate.
