§ Mr. SNOWDENasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will inquire into the amount of pay and allowance now being given on account of Private H. Burns, No. 277580, 2/7th Manchester Regiment, who is now home out of hospital pending the fitting of an artificial foot, and who is being paid 11s. 1d. a week for Army pay and ration money and 9s. 4d. separation allowance for his wife; and, as this amount appears to be inadequate, will he see that this man is paid the sums to which he is entitled?
§ Mr. FORSTERInquiries are being made into this case, and I will acquaint the hon. Member of the result in due course.
§ Sir H. GREENWOODasked the Pensions Minister whether he can amend the Rule granting 2s. 6d. a week extra to 726W recipients of the special campaign pension so as to make the increase apply to men over the age of seventy who are for some reason or other not eligible for the old age pension on attaining that age?
§ Mr. FORSTERNo, Sir; the 2s. 6d. corresponds to the extra 2s. 6d. given to old age pensioners, and I fear I cannot adopt my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion.
