§ Mr. HANCOCKasked the Minister of Labour why lodging allowance was not paid to Driver Edward Jantum, The Croft, Morley, near Derby, for the period commencing 28th July, 1919, and ending 10th March, 1920, during which he was in lodgings and training for boot and shoe repairing?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI am informed that owing to a misapprehension the Derby War Pensions Committee did not hand this case over at the appointed time to the Ministry of Labour, and continued the payment of allowances up to 10th March, 1920. Since that date the correct allowances have been paid by the Ministry of Labour. I am making further inquiries into this case, and will inform my hon. Friend of the action taken.
