HC Deb 28 October 1920 vol 133 cc1967-8W
Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the War Office whether he has received any representations from Mr. E. J. Gainer, of 29, Rose Cottages, Telegraph Street, Stafford, regarding the effects of his son, Sapper T. E. Gainer, No. 143661, 55th Field Company, Royal Engineers, who was killed in France on 8th October, 1917, expressing doubt as to the accuracy of the copy of A.F. W. 3,296 sent to him; and whether he will consider the possibility of Mr. Gainer being sent the actual pay book of his son as, from other evidence given to Mr. Gainer, he is convinced that some error has been made in the amount of pay drawn by his son before his death?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

No representations have been received from Mr. Gainer on the subject, but arrangements could be made for Mr. Gainer to inspect his son's pay book at the Regimental Pay Office at Lichfield, or, if that is inconvenient, arrangements will be made as a special case to send it to him for inspection on his undertaking that it will be returned promptly.
