§ Mr. A. SHAWasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he will have further inquiry made into the case of Mr. William Lennon, 19, High Street, Kilmarnock, who was left with the motherless son of Private J. King, No. 13826, Royal Scots, from the 1st September, 1914; whether Mr. William Lennon made repeated efforts to try and ascertain the regimental particulars of Private J. King so as to enable him to claim an allowance for the upkeep of this child, but was unable to obtain this information until after Private King's demobilisation; and whether, in view of this fact, it is possible to make any payment to Mr. Lennon for the expenses to which he has been put in connection with this child?
§ Mr. FORSTERInquiries will be made and 1 will inform my hon. Friend of the result as soon as possible.
