HC Deb 03 November 1920 vol 134 cc385-6W
Mr. RONALD McNEILL

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the late Frederick William Lee, petty officer, first class, who was invalided out of the service on account of injury on the 3rd July, 1915, was entitled to any, and, if so, how much prize money; if he was so entitled, will the prize money be paid to his widow, Lee having died in May, 1920; and how soon is she likely to receive it?

Sir J. CRAIG

The sum of £20 is due to the estate of the late Frederick William Lee on account of naval prize money. As the deceased died intestate, his widow is entitled to receive the prize money for purposes of administration, and payment of the amount due will be made when the form of Statutory Declaration which was forwarded to her on the 6th October is duly executed and returned to the Accountant-General of the Navy, Admiralty.
