HC Deb 18 June 1917 vol 94 c1444W
Mr. W. THORNE

asked the Undersecretary of State for War if his attention has been called to an action for rent amounting to £3 5s. heard recently in the Bloomsbury County Court against Mrs. Tatfield, a blind widow, who has an elder son in the Army, and whose younger son, the main support of the home, was called up for service, since when she has not received any allowance from the War Office; if he is aware that Mrs. Tatfield sent the summons for rent to the War Office and has applied repeatedly for assistance, but no notice has been taken; and if he will give an explanation of the matter?

Mr. FORSTER

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on 13th instant to the hon. Member for the Attercliffe Division of Sheffield.
