§ Viscount WOLMERasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that Lieutenant Ezekiel Agnew, Army dental surgeon, stationed at the military convalescent hospital, Crownhill hutments, near Plymouth, has been refused a grant by the Civil Liabilities Committee; whether he is aware that Lieutenant Agnew is in receipt of £365 per annum, out of which he has to pay £161 for rent, insurance, and taxes, and £150 for his mess and lodging, and is thus left with £54 to keep his wife and family of three; and 434W whether, in view of these circumstances, he will see that a grant is issued to Lieutenant Agnew to help him to meet his expenses while serving in the Army?
§ Sir R. HORNEI am aware that a grant has been refused by the Civil Liabilities Committee in the case of the officer referred to by the Noble and gallant Member. I am informed that the circumstances of this case, as mentioned to the Committee, did not altogether correspond with those stated in the question; but further inquiry is already being made into the facts
