HC Deb 26 May 1919 vol 116 c863W
Brigadier-General Sir H. CHILD

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will consider the desirability of changing the definition of extreme compassionate grounds, contained in Army Council Instruction No. 287 of 1919, paragraph 1, sub-paragraph (1), to read, "son, who has a parent or parents in necessitous circumstances, with no near relation other than the soldier capable of earning, the parent or parents themselves being incapable of earning"?

Mr. FORSTER

I regret that I have nothing further to add to the answer given to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Finsbury on the 20th inst., of which I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy.
