§ Commander KINGasked the Pensions Minister whether immediate attention may be given to the case of Mrs. Holman, whose husband, Sergeant W. J. Holman, 865W No. 20054, 1st King's African Rifles, was reported to have died at Zomba, East' Africa, on the 4th January, 1919, in view of the fact that the widow has received no payment of any kind, either allotment or pension, since 20th December, 1918, and, in spite of repeated applications, has been unable to obtain either information with regard to his death, the return of his effects, or any payment in money?
§ Sir JAMES CRAIGSome difficulty has been experienced in obtaining the necessary information in this case, but entitlement to pension under Article 11 has now been admitted. Arrangements have been made with the War Office for the issue of separation allowance for a period of twenty-six weeks from the date of notification of death and at the end of that period pension will follow. Question should be addressed to the Colonial Office with regard to the other matters referred to.
