§ Mr. J. DAVISONasked the Minister of Pensions whether his attention has been drawn to the case of Mr. H. Smith, late No. 86,677, Royal Engineers, of 10, Duke Street, Barnsley; whether he is aware that this man applied for a pension on the 13th February, 1920, and the necessary papers were sent by the local War Pensions Committee to regional headquarters, who replied on the 27th February, 1920, that arrangements would be made for his medical examination; whether, in spite of repeated applications by the local War Pensions Committee to regional headquarters, urging immediate action, as the man and his family were without funds and were in receipt of parish relief, no action has been taken and letters ignored; and whether he will have inquiries made into this case and the matter expedited?
§ Major TRYONI am having immediate inquiry made into this case, and will let the hon. Member know the result.
