§ Mr. LUNNasked the Pensions Minister if he will reconsider the case of a claim for pension by the mother of Private Thomas Rawcliffe, No. 262116, Notts and Derbyshire Regiment, which has been refused on the ground that the illness which caused the death was contracted after his discharge from the Army, in view of the fact that the soldier was discharged from the Army only ten days before his death, when he returned to his home practically in a dying condition, and that the grounds on which the pension was refused, namely, that the illness was contracted after discharge from the Army, are not supported by the facts of the case?
§ Sir J. CRAIGThis matter is being investigated, and the hon. Member will be informed of the result.
