HC Deb 27 June 1917 vol 95 cc406-7W
Mr. ANDERSON

asked the Pensions Minister whether he will reinvestigate the case of ex-Private Smith, of Mytholmroyd, who lost his right arm in the War, and was pensioned in respect of this loss; whether he is aware that it was afterwards discovered that he was a left-handed man, and that the Pensions Department on this ground wrote him notifying their intention to reduce his pension by 2s. 9d. per week; and whether he proposes taking any further action in the matter?

Sir A. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWEN

I regret that it is not possible to trace this case from the particulars given, but if the hon. Member will furnish me with the man's full name, regiment, and regimental number, I will have further inquiries made.
