HC Deb 03 June 1918 vol 106 c1250W
Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry what pension, respectively, would be paid to the widow and child of a flight-cadet killed during training in this country and of a flight-lieutenant killed while training a cadet in this country?

Mr. HODGE

The widow of a flight-lieutenant killed on flying duty received a gratuity of £140 and a gratuity of one-third of that amount for the child, together with a pension of £100 and a child's allowance of £24. I am in communication with the Air Ministry with reference to the Grants appropriate to the family of a flight-cadet, and will inform the hon. Member further on that subject in due course.
