§ Mr. GLANVILLEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty (1) if he is aware that 400W S. H. Wallis, No. 16,144, who was reported on resurvey to be suffering from no disability so far as his earning capacity was concerned, is, in fact, constantly losing time at the Post Office through recurrence of illness due to his injuries; and, if so, what action he proposes to take; and (2) whether, seeing that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty based their decision refusing a pension to S. H. Wallis on the report of a medical resurvey which states that he was suffering from no disability so far as his earning capacity was concerned, although the man has admittedly lost the use of a hand, he will see that this case is reconsidered and a pension paid to this man; and, if not, will he state what authority fixes the wages standard in a case of this kind 2
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI must refer my hon. Friend to the very full statement I made to him regarding this case on 3rd August. I can only add to that statement that if Wallis definitely loses his employment in the Post Office directly on account of the disablement which caused his invaliding, his case would—as already stated—receive sympathetic consideration; but if he is only intermittently absent from his employment, he is presumably in receipt of sick pay or full pay for such periods?
