HC Deb 28 March 1917 vol 92 c440W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, in refusing dependant's allowance to Mrs. Sarah Conaghan, of Owennagadragh, Killy-gordon, county Donegal, mother of Private Thomas Conaghan, No. 7466, 6th Connaught Rangers, British Expeditionary Force, the authorities had before them the fact that he remitted money regularly to his mother in sums of £2, £3, £4, and £5, and that in July, 1916, he remitted £15 to her; and, in view of these facts, will he cause the case to be reopened so as to secure an appropriate dependant's allowance?

Mr. FORSTER

Inquiries are being made and I will inform the hon. Member of the result in due course.
