HC Deb 15 May 1919 vol 115 cc1801-2W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that no grant has yet been issued to Lieutenant Ezekiel Agnew, Army dental surgeon; and, as this officer has been compelled to go into debt to the extent of nearly £100 since he was called up, whether steps can be taken to afford him some assistance to enable him to keep his family?

Sir R. HORNE

The case referred to by the Noble and gallant Member has been reconsidered, and it has been decided that a grant at the rate of £50 per annum should be made to Lieutenant Agnew, to date from the 23rd October last. The pay- ment of the amount due from the 23rd October to the 31st March last has been made.
