§ Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in order to avoid the delay in dealing with each officer's claim individually, he will consider the advisability 1140W of making a special grant to all officers who have been prisoners of war in Turkey to cover their heavy expenses while they were prisoners of war?
§ Mr. FORSTERI can assure my Noble Friend that no time will be lost in dealing with these claims as soon as they have been presented; but the conditions varied too much to admit of a fixed grant being paid in all cases alike.
